Project Description

Sensitive or intruder-vulnerable areas are, by definition, in need of some form of defense. In such cases, it is potentially desirable to remove human physical presence from the defense, without eliminating human influence. Thus, it was decided that a turret should be made to guard these types of areas, which could be remotely controlled with only simple user input. Due to the variety of potential applications for this technology, scalability was important: lasers may be used for “painting” or specifying targets, and more forceful firing mechanisms may be used when necessary. The system designed is modular, and may be easily adapted to utilize a multitude of firing platforms.
