PALISADE HCV
A next-generation armored platform combining two independently traversable turret systems with a vehicle-wide approach to impact management.

Make the whole structure absorb the hit.
Adaptive Impulse Diffusion Armor — AIDA — treats a strike as a vehicle-level structural event instead of a local armor event.
Embedded impact sensing, tunable material layers and distributed structural pathways spread a localized impulse laterally through protected structure, reducing peak deformation at the strike point and routing energy toward sacrificial and phase-change components.

Independent lines of engagement.
The Palisade's separated turret assemblies can cover different sectors or concentrate effects under a single crew or remote mission controller.
The configuration also distributes critical weapon and sensor functions across more than one armored structure, improving mission continuity after localized damage.
