The ISV-H expands on the Infantry Squad Vehicle platform with a hybrid diesel-electric system, increased payload capacity, and significant onboard power generation.

Armed with nuclear-capable missiles like the Nike Hercules, these hidden bases stood on constant alert—often just beneath parks and neighborhoods. Though long decommissioned, traces of this forgotten shield still remain across the state.
