The PALADIN Weapon Station is a remote weapon station used on almost every kind of UNSC Combat vehicle. The PALADIN is controlled by a gunner with the weapon slaved to his helmet motions via a fibre optic cable. The gun follows the motion and direction of his eyes to provide near 100% accuracy. PALADINS also feature a manual control with a joystick and access to the on-board cameras and the telescopic digital camera and telescopic thermal camera. When using fibre optic links, the on board camera feeds are projected onto the user's HUD. The turret has full 360 degree mobility and can target upwards to 80 degrees, and can elevate itself to gain height over the vehicle for close in defence.
