===Design details===
The Ardent helmet presumably comes in two forms: a variant manufactured by the [[United Nations Space Command]] and a variant recreated by the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} while on [[Installation 00]].{{Ref/Reuse|HI}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=Hippo|Halo: Hippocratica}}{{Ref/Note|Id=Ardent|August-099 is depicted wearing an Ardent helmet with TAS/FES/BRONTES attachment in ''[[Halo: Hippocratica]]''. This story is set in [[2560]], presumably while the ''Spirit of Fire'' and crew are still at Installation 00, at least according to [[Adam Andrews]]'s knowledge of the vessel's whereabouts. The Armor Hall description of the helmet produced on the ''Spirit of Fire'' as "the 'home grown' ARDENT," which leaves room for the ''Spirit of Fire''{{'}}s Ardent to be a recreation of an existing Ardent-class helmet. As this is the most logical reconciliation of the discrepancy, this article describes it as such.}}
The Ardent helmet is compatible with the TAS/FES/BRONTES attachment, which consists of a field-expedient combination of spare parts, [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] "BRONTES" firmware, and reused up-links designed by the [[Smart AI]] [[Isabel]]. The attachment provides the equipped [[Spartan]]s with a direct connection to the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}'s targeting array.{{Ref/Game|Id=HelmetAttachDescription|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=TAS/FES/BRONTES - Helmet Attachment Description|Quote=A field-expedient synthesis of spare parts, ONI BRONTES firmware, and repurposed up=links designed by Isabel to provide a direct connection for Spartans to the ''Spirit of Fire''{{'}}s targeting array.}}
 
The Ardent helmet is compatible with the TAS/FES/BRONTES attachment, which—in the case of the Ardent helmet built aboard the ''Spirit of Fire''—consists of a field-expedient combination of spare parts, [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] "BRONTES" firmware, and reused up-links designed by the [[Smart AI]] [[Isabel]]. The attachment provides the equipped [[Spartan]]s on Installation 00 with a direct connection to the ''Spirit of Fire''{{'}}s targeting array.{{Ref/Game|Id=HelmetAttachDescription|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=TAS/FES/BRONTES - Helmet Attachment Description|Quote=A field-expedient synthesis of spare parts, ONI BRONTES firmware, and repurposed up=links designed by Isabel to provide a direct connection for Spartans to the ''Spirit of Fire''{{'}}s targeting array.}}

A variant of the Ardent helmet was developed for use with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|MJOLNIR Mark IV]] platform aboard the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'', combining components forged on Installation 00 with traditional UNSC minifacturing.{{Ref/Reuse|HI}}
