The Talisman AAPDS, full designation Talisman Anti-Air and Projectile Defence System, is a fully automated Illuverendian close-in weapon system designed and manufactured by Valhallerens Heavy Industries. A further improvement of the successful Stormbringer CIWS family, it uses the Mark V chassis of the aforementioned system, but with incremental upgrades, as well as the introduction of the Glythewick M140 revolver cannon, and the first Illuverendian CIWS to use AHEAD ammunition.
