An Automated Defence Force is a special formation used by various Space Marine Chapters which is composed of Tarantula Sentry Guns.

自动防御部队是由狼蛛哨兵枪组成的各种星际战士战团使用的一种特殊编队。

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 Thunderhawks before being activated by the Chapter's Techmarines. Their status can then be monitored from any command vehicle.

每个编队由多个狼蛛哨兵枪组组成，每个组有三门枪。它还可以包括许珀里翁炮组，每个炮组都由一个指挥平台控制。这些部队通常用于完成该战团根本缺乏人力完成的任务，例如守卫战略区域，并且在被该战团的技术军士激活之前，经常被雷鹰空投到位。然后，可以从任何指挥车监控他们的状态。
