1. A main body of an unmanned vehicle comprising:
a propulsion-receiving module having a mount point for removably mounting a propulsion source;
a payload-receiving module having a mount point for removably mounting a payload, wherein the payload-receiving module comprises:
an upper surface;
a lower surface; and
at least one lateral surface extending from the upper surface to the lower surface;
wherein the main body further comprises a damper abutting the lateral surface of the payload-receiving module and also abutting the propulsion-receiving module, to inhibit transmission of vibrations from the propulsion-receiving module to the payload-receiving module when the payload-receiving module and the propulsion-receiving module are in mechanical communication.
