'''Drone sentry turrets''' are probably the largest autonomous systems used by the [[Tau Empire]], used to secure perimeters without requiring Fire Warriors to be put in harm's way - this is because the Tau shun the concept of [[Imperial Guard|static fights]], so they let these drones do it. They are also a bit more [[Reasonable Marines|reasonable]] as unlike Imperial [[Tarantula Sentry Gun|Tarantula sentry guns]], the drone's intelligence can differentiate between friendly and enemy units effectively, choosing to ignore some targets in favor of others and capable of making independent targeting decisions. Although it calls into question about the Imperial's Tarantula turret more than the effectiveness of the Weeb's family friendly version.

As for why there are new Tau fortifications, that's because [[GW]] doesn't seem to communicate with FW, and even then, those fortifications aren't immobile. Back to the topic, these drones mount twin-linked [[burst cannon]]s, [[missile pod]]s, [[fusion blaster]]s, or [[plasma rifle]]s in a "pop-up" configuration, so that the entire turret stays as enclosed as possible until the moment the guns need to fire. They can also be given a defensive upgrade such as a shield generator to better absorb incoming fire. Being considered vehicles, they also have access to vehicle systems.

Its smaller brother is the Tactical Support Turret.
