An identify friend or foe device for ships.
Could be 1 to 3 parts:
Interface (small like car radio)
Antenna (small / flush mounted)
Display (if hud integration isnt a thing)
The interface would accept a four digit code and any other ship with the same code would appear as friendly... Kinda...
Hydraulic like actuators from small flappy door size to big cargo ramp, drive on/off size. They'd have eyelets at both ends which the bolts go through to allow the actuators to still rotate when extending/retracting.
Could also function as shock absorber for landing gear.
Panelling that is thin, lightweight and cheap compared to the 'minimum 12cm thick' 'armor' that is currently avaliable.
Most auto body skin is ~1 to 1.5mm thick or so.
