Fig. 1. Automatic sentry turret<br />

Sentry turrets that can be attached to distributed systems can be used for more<br />

complex systems, such as multi-target attack, or cooperative decision-mak<strong>in</strong>g as<br />

seen <strong>in</strong> [7]. They can be either stand-alone [6], deployable, or mounted on tactical<br />

vehicles, guard posts, or wearable robots such as exoskeletons, or "mech" like<br />

mach<strong>in</strong>es like KURATAS [4] .<br />

2 Turret Construction<br />

The project's goals was to construct an automatic target<strong>in</strong>g system, that would<br />

consist of two rotary jo<strong>in</strong>ts, allow<strong>in</strong>g the gun to aim freely at stationary and mov<strong>in</strong>g<br />

targets. Because the ma<strong>in</strong> focus of this article was on the control systems: both<br />

visual and distributed, a pa<strong>in</strong>tball marker was used <strong>in</strong>stead of a live-ammo firearm.<br />

Automatic turret elements (spotted <strong>in</strong> Fig.2):<br />

• Tippmann X7 Phenom pa<strong>in</strong>tball marker, (a)<br />

• Tippmann E-Grip - electronic powered automatic trigger system, (<strong>in</strong>tegrated<br />

with a)<br />

• Tippmann X7 Phenom Cyclone Feed System, (b)<br />

• Tiberius Arms Dual Illum<strong>in</strong>ation Open Dot Sight (swappable with Tiberius<br />

Arms 4x32 or 1x30 Dot Scope), (c)<br />

• Tiberius Arms Tactical Laser, (d)<br />

• 48cl 3000 psi HPA Tank, (e)
