You have to reduce their ground direct fire profile by making them flatter. However by doing so you make them more vulnerable to a top attack from a drone, helicopter or guided artillery munitions. You give the enemy a large flat surface to attack. Interesting design problem!
Put a giant unbrella on it!
I keep thinking about a directed energy type of laser weapon will be developed that counters all current threats.
Everything from drones, anti-tank missiles, RPGs, etc., combined with a type of electronic force field that screws up everything electronic coming at you.
I’ve read Israel is currently testing something called the Iron Beam which is a low cost laser capable of taking out drones and missiles but at short ranges, how effective it is I do not know.
The world is in love with weaponized drones, they are cheap and right now very effective, something that can counter them should be a high priority.

That really doesn’t matter as much anymore. What can be hit can be killed. In the future, one would have to expect that any incoming weapon is going to be smart enough to choose it’s most advantageous aspect of attack.
