The Wolf Spider is one of the many automated turrets used by the UNSC for site defence, though it is a fairly rare sight when compared to others such as the [[M5 Talos]], [[M3045 deployable automated turret|M3045]], and [[M3063 deployable turret|M3063]]. The turret is housed inside a white cylindrical housing with a diameter of {{Convert|13.1|ft|m|disp=flip|sp=us}} and a height of {{Convert|12.1|ft|m|disp=flip|sp=us}}, with a hatch located on the top of the mounting from which the gun itself emerges.

The Wolf Spider's armament is a [[machine gun]] firing 12.7×99mm ammunition, fed into the weapon via a 10,000-round drum. To sight and calculate targets, an optical sensor is mounted under the barrel.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} | ||
As with most [[human]] automated defences, Wolf Spiders can be deployed with multiple units [[UNSC battle network|networked together]] to act as a single machine. In these scenarios, the turrets are generally deployed with overlapping fields of fire with which they can be used to their best effect.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Defensive networks like this generally rely on an optical or [[laser]] sensor and an [[Identification friend or foe|IFF]] interrogator for target acquisition, which can then be shared across the network to best facilitate effective firing.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | As with most [[human]] automated defences, Wolf Spiders can be deployed with multiple units [[UNSC battle network|networked together]] to act as a single machine.
