This is unimpressive at best, and impractical at worst. Rather than ULA expending the intellectual effort to build the control and guidance systems needed to land the entire rocket as SpaceX does, they took the lazy route and added a few steps to their existing process. The fact that they're willing to suggest that something like this is innovative is just further proof that the entire ULA is staunchly resistant to change. I'm not entirely sure this system will even have a chance to be used.
