The '''M3063 Automated Heavy Machine Gun/Self-Tracking''' ('''M3063 AHMG/ST'''), colloquially referred to as the '''deployable turret''' or '''autoturret''', | The '''M3063 Automated Heavy Machine Gun/Self-Tracking''' ('''M3063 AHMG/ST'''), colloquially referred to as the '''deployable turret''' or '''autoturret''', is an [[automated turret]] utilised by the [[United Nations Space Command]] as an anti-personnel sentry weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|H4VG}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=183}} | ||

===Design details=== | |||
Mounted on a heavy tetrapod, the weapon emits a visible [[laser]] [[Laser aiming module|to aid in targeting]]. It features a heavy [[machine gun]] that fires at a moderate rate, and an energy weapon that fires an [[electromagnetic pulse]] (EMP) shot similar to the overcharge function of the [[Covenant]]'s [[Type-25 plasma pistol]].{{Ref/Game|H4|Autoturret in-game unit}} | |||
As with most [[human]] automated defences, M3063s can be deployed with multiple units [[UNSC battle network|networked together]] to act as a single machine. In these scenarios, the turrets are generally deployed with overlapping fields of fire with which they can be used to their best effect. Defensive networks like this generally rely on an optical or laser sensor and an [[Identification friend or foe|IFF]] interrogator for target acquisition, which can then be shared across the network to best facilitate effective firing.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||

This autoturret was frequently used in [[War Games]] training sessions by [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IVs]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.

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]],{{Ref/SpOps|Episode=Catherine|Level=Galileo}} [[Two Giants]],{{Ref/SpOps|Episode=Catherine|Level=Shootout In Valhalla}} and [[Magma Base]].{{Ref/SpOps|Episode= | 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.
