have always imagined the emitters of a grav vehicle being built as a
part of the hull. Basically you have the generators under the armor, but
the emitters and their many redundancies are either built into the hull
through a grid or in many, many smaller emmiters points.

    what its limitations would be, or whether countermeasures (if
possible
    at all) would require a specialized vehicle or not. This is because
    grav is still totally speculative. It might be fun and engaging
    speculation, worth including in a game, but at the moment if we
really
    want to be realistic we wouldn't have grav in the first place.

  It comes from the principle of reciprocity.  If the hull does not
block the gravitic emanations on the way out, it will not be too much of
a hindrance for gravitic emanations on the way in.  The frustrating part
of hardening radios and other EM receivers to EMP is that antennas are
supposed to collect energy and conduct it through the hull surface, to
the equipment.

  Then there is the matter that general relativity rules out anything
that blocks gravity.
