Tessera Autonomous Marksman Platform TAMP-2 'Arbiter'
The TAMP-2 Arbiter is a DMR designed to operate semi-autonomously from a fixed position. The weapon can be deployed on a stabilized tripod mount with its own sensor suite, power supply, and targeting AI, functioning as an unmanned precision overwatch platform. A remote operator provides engagement authorization through BCI link, but the weapon handles target detection, tracking, and firing solution calculation independently.

The Arbiter fires 7mm caseless from a precision barrel with an automated round-chambering system that maintains the weapon's readiness without human intervention. The sensor suite includes visual, thermal, and millimeter-wave radar that provides all-weather target detection at ranges exceeding the weapon's effective firing distance. The AI prioritizes targets based on threat assessment algorithms that can be pre-configured for specific operational parameters.

Tessera sells the TAMP-2 at Φ45,000 per unit as a force multiplier for precision overwatch. A single remote operator can manage up to four Arbiters simultaneously, providing coverage that would require four human marksmen in four separate positions. The weapon's autonomous capabilities raise the same ethical concerns as all autonomous weapons — the AI identifies and tracks targets, but a human must authorize each engagement. The authorization delay is measured in milliseconds, raising questions about how meaningful that human oversight really is.

tactical useThe Arbiter provides persistent, tireless precision overwatch without risking a human marksman in an exposed position. Its multi-sensor suite maintains target detection in conditions that would blind human operators, and the AI targeting system tracks multiple targets simultaneously while calculating optimal engagement sequences. A four-Arbiter network controlled by a single operator provides interlocking fields of precision fire covering a perimeter that would otherwise require significant personnel investment.
cultural contextThe Arbiter is the designated marksman's job threat. Its existence raises uncomfortable questions about the role of human skill when an AI can detect, track, and calculate firing solutions faster and more consistently than any human. Proponents argue the human remains essential for the engagement decision. Opponents note that a decision presented as 'authorize/deny' with milliseconds of AI-analyzed context is not really a decision — it is a formality.

story hooks
  • An Arbiter's remote operator authorized an engagement based on the AI's threat assessment. The target was actually a child carrying a toy that the thermal sensor interpreted as a weapon. The AI was technically correct — the object's thermal signature matched a weapon profile.
  • Four Arbiters deployed at a corporate facility have been operating without remote operator oversight for 72 hours due to a communications failure. The weapons continue to function on their pre-set parameters, engaging anything that triggers their threat algorithms.

physical description
visual profileA sleek, modular DMR with a distinctly mechanical aesthetic—angular and purposeful. The upper receiver houses a prominent sensor cluster, giving it an asymmetrical, almost insectoid appearance. The weapon looks engineered for networked autonomy rather than human ergonomics, with integration points for drone-like sensor arrays.
dimensionsWeapon body: 78cm length, 8cm width at receiver. Barrel: 55cm. Tripod mount adds 45cm height when deployed. Sensor cluster: 12cm × 10cm mounted above the rail system.
weight descriptionBalanced but substantial—6.2kg feels purposeful in hand, neither light nor unwieldy. The tripod assembly (4.5kg) is designed for quick-deploy stability rather than portability, suggesting this weapon expects to stay put.
primary materialAerospace-grade carbon composite frame with reinforced polymer receiver. Barrel is surgically-precise chromium-molybdenum steel. Sensor housing is brushed aluminum alloy.
finishMatte charcoal composite body with brushed aluminum accents. The barrel shows a gunmetal gray hard-anodize. Minimal reflective surfaces—designed to resist optical detection.
color schemeCharcoal black primary, brushed gunmetal gray secondary, with accent lighting (status LEDs in soft blue and red at the sensor cluster). No corporate branding paint—pure function.
grip textureTextured polymer grip with integrated haptic feedback nodes. The stock features a rubberized cheek rest. Rail sections are knurled aluminum—cold, precise, unmistakably engineered for remote operation rather than human comfort.
distinctive features
  • Prominent sensor cluster above receiver—visual, thermal, and millimeter-wave radar housing
  • Automated round-chambering system with status indicators (small LED bar showing magazine state)
  • Rail-mounted power coupling for autonomous operation
  • BCI link contact points (small recessed copper pads on the stock and grip)
  • Oversized, precision bolt handle with serrated texture
  • Magazine witness ports showing 7mm caseless round status
  • Heat vents along the barrel shroud for the sensing electronics
  • Stabilization nodes on the tripod mount (shock-absorbing polymer buffers)
manufacturer markingsTESSERA logo (minimalist geometric Φ symbol) etched into the receiver in small silver lettering. Serial plate mounted on the left side of the stock in raised numerals. Small 'AI-AUTHORIZED WEAPON' classification stamp near the magazine well. No decorative engraving—purely functional markings.
condition typicalField-deployed units show wear on the tripod contact points and slight oxidation on the aluminum sensor housing from weather exposure. The barrel remains pristine—these weapons are maintained by automated systems between engagements. Dust accumulation on sensor apertures is common in active deployments.
