Military vehicle with battery structure for low-velocity aerial delivery

A military vehicle comprising:

• a battery structure configured to store a plurality of battery cells, the battery structure configured to provide protection for the plurality of battery cells during a low velocity aerial delivery of the military vehicle, the battery structure comprising:
• a partition upon which the plurality of battery cells rest;
• a layer of crushable structure positioned beneath the partition, the crushable structure configured to crush as the military vehicle contacts a ground surface and the plurality of battery cells are decelerated, the crushable structure crushed by the plurality of battery cells;
• a layer of compressible material, the compressible material configured to compress to absorb kinetic energy from the plurality of battery cells when the military vehicle contacts the ground surface;
• and
• a fluid positioned beneath the layer of the crushable structure and the layer of compressible material, the fluid being a non-Newtonian fluid configured to absorb impact of the plurality of battery cells when the military vehicle contacts the ground surface.
