Turret

A turret is a rotating, usually cylindrical or polygonal structure that houses weapons or sensors, allowing precise targeting by turning toward a threat or objective. Commonly found on military vehicles like tanks, ships, or artillery, turrets enable operators to aim and fire without moving the entire platform. They can be manually operated or automated with control systems. Turrets enhance defense and combat effectiveness by providing flexibility and protection, allowing users to quickly adapt to changing situations while maintaining a stable firing position.
