The '''M3063 Automated Heavy Machine Gun/Self-Tracking''' ('''M3063 AHMG/ST'''), colloquially referred to as the '''Deployable Turret''' or '''Autoturret''',<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 82''</ref> is a [[UNSC Defense Force]] automated anti-personnel sentry weapon. Mounted on a heavy tetrapod, the weapon emits a visible [[laser]] [[Laser aiming module|to aid in targeting]]. It features a machine gun that fires at a moderate rate, and an energy weapon that fires [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] shots similar to the [[Type-25 plasma pistol]].

This autoturret was frequently used in [[War Games]] training sessions by [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IVs]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. It was an effective way to defend captured bases and secure objectives, especially in [[Dominion]] matches.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/3660b4d2-58c5-43e0-ab59-a9ee99b8c3e3/dominion?category=wargames '''Halo Waypoint''' ''Dominion'']</ref>

When the ''Infinity'' [[Requiem Campaign|returned]] to the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] [[Requiem]] in [[2558]], various UNSC bases and outposts were established on the inner surface of the planet. Several such autoturrets were used to defend these locations, including [[Galileo Base]], [[Two Giants]] and [[Magma Base]].
