The '''M910 Rampart point defense network''' is a point defense system utilized by the [[UNSC Navy]] on its warships. They are primarily used to shoot down fighters and missiles.
 
==Usage==
The M910 Rampart is a heavier alternative in the Rampart series of point-defense guns, primarily outfitted on the heavy warships of the UNSC; [[cruiser]]s and [[battleship]]s. It was in service as early as [[2493]] aboard the {{Class|Valiant|super-heavy cruiser}} and was later a standard instalment on successor cruiser classes - with the notable exception of the {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}}. The foremost exception to the trend of M910s installed on large combatants is the usage of the M910 aboard the {{Class|Point Blank|prowler}}, a stealth warship class often itself nicknamed a "stealth cruiser".
 
For smaller combatants and carriers, the [[M870 Rampart point defense gun|M870 Rampart]] is often used in a similar role. On at least the {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}}, the M910 Rampart is capable of being interchangeably replaced with the [[M810 Helix point defense gun]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22Cruisers}} It is unknown whether this capability extends to the rest of the fleet; if so, the M910 may also be capable of being fit onto the ships listed [[M810 Helix point defense gun#Usage|here]].

==Service history==
M910s attached to the ''Pillar of Autumn'' were utilised to great effect during the [[Battle of Installation 04]]. During the space battle over the installation, several guns were manned by the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODST]]s of [[Fireteam Raven]] and used to fend off several waves of [[Elsedda-pattern Banshee|Banshees]] and [[Morsam-pattern Seraph|Seraphs]].{{Ref/Reuse|HFREscape}} Following the vessel's crash-landing on the Installation, several of these guns were recovered by retrieval forces led by [[Lieutenant (UNSC)|Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]] and put to use in the defense of the newly-established [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]] as static defenses.{{Ref/Novel|HTF}}{{Ref/Level|HFR|Alpha Base (Halo: Fireteam Raven level)|Alpha Base}}
