I think the actual "Integrity Field" Module is broken.
Integrity Field
"incrase the Armor Strength of all ships in fleet"
Assumption: Its supposed to give more armor rating and not more Htpoints (which it correctly doesn't do)
I ran the following test :
1. Use a Support Hull and attach (1x per ship) the following Modules to it:
- Field generator (+ Shield Strength)
- Missile Disruptor ( + Missile Defence)
- Integrity Field (+ ???)
2. Build 8 Ships of this model
3. Write down the numbers of "Shield Strength (S)", "Missile Defence (MD)" and "Armor Rating (AR)"
- 1 Ship -> 5 (S), 2 (MD), 0 (AR)
- 2 Ships -> 20 (S), 8 (MD), 0 (AR)
- 3 Ships -> 45 (S), 18 (MD), 0 (AR)
- 4 Ships -> 80 (S), 32 (MD), 0 (AR)
- 5 Ships -> 125 (S), 50 (MD), 0 (AR)
- 6 Ships -> 180 (S), 72 (MD), 0 (AR)
- 7 Ships -> 245 (S), 98 (MD), 0 (AR)
- 8 ships -> 320 (S), 128 (MD), 0 (AR)
So my guess is that this module is "broken" aka not working as intended.
Edit:
I have not tested the advanced Module called "Hull Enhancement Field" as i am playing a game with no Asteroids.
Edit2:
The tooltip calls the increase "Armor Strength", while the Tooltip when hovering over the "Armor Symbol" on Ships/Fleets/Designer calls it "Armor Rating"
On the Shield side of things, they are both called "Shield Strength", so i assume this miss-match in wording is an oversight ?
kind regards,

ps.: is there a bug tracker one can add to ?
