An '''Automated Defence Force''' is a special formation used by various [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]]s which is composed of [[Tarantula Sentry Gun]]s.
Each formation is made up of multiple Tarantula sentry gun batteries with three guns per battery. It can also include Hyperios batteries, each of which is controlled by a command platform. These forces are often used to fulfill missions which the Chapter simply lacks the manpower to accomplish, such as guarding a strategic area, and are often air-dropped into place by [[Thunderhawk]]s before being activated by the Chapter's [[Techmarine]]s. Their status can then be monitored from any command vehicle.<sup>1,2</sup>
