Several examples of the point defence gauntlet were captured by the UNSC during the early stages of the war. During the [[First Battle of Harvest]] in [[2525]], a pair of Marines assigned to a freighter during the planet's evacuation were able to secure a batch of gauntlets from [[Kig-yar]] after a failed attempt to board their ship.{{Ref/Generic|Id=Unspoken| | Several examples of the point defence gauntlet were captured by the UNSC during the early stages of the war.

In [[2536]], a [[Leonard Gillespie|graduate student]] took apart an outdated gauntlet, discovering that its inner apparatus was not properly sealed. The initial tests that followed revealed to the UNSC that massive power input can help replicate and sustain small-scale energy shield surface areas. Reverse-engineering of the gauntlet helped allow the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] to develop their own [[energy shielding]] technology for the [[MJOLNIR]] armor.{{Ref/Reuse|journal}} | ||
