Like its cousins, the [[Anti-Vehicle Shade|anti-vehicle Shade]] and the [[type-26 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun|anti-infantry Shades]], It is manufactured by the Covenant Empire. Found in the missions [[New Alexandria (level)|New Alexandria]] and [[Tip of the Spear]]. They are first seen in the area before you have to penetrate the Spire's shield and are later seen throughout the New Alexandria skyline. They are deployed by Phantoms to attack [[ONI]] HQ and prevent the escape of the waiting Pelicans. You are required to destroy them, using either the Falcon or Banshee, if you can jack one, will work, to allow the Pelicans to escape. There are six Anti-Aircraft Turrets around the ONI tower for you to destroy. |

| − | The Anti-Aircraft Turrets are operated by one person. You cannot land and try to use one, because they have a strong shield built in. It fires four to five plasma bolts at once, so it is difficult to maneuver out of their way, even in the nimble Falcon. They can resist up to five or six rounds from the Falcon's main cannon, or 3 rounds from the Banshee's Fuel Rod cannon. Unlike the short range Shade, this turret's plasma bolts will explode at a certain range, are slower, and pack more of a punch than the regular bolts. |

Unlike the Type-26 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun and the Fuel Rod Shade Turret, it sports energy shields on both sides of the open cockpit, protecting the occupant from enemy infantry, but also making it extremely visible in low-light situations.
