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

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.[1][2]
