The | The OSTEO armor platform incorporates an array of contingency systems focused on surviving extended operations in extraordinarily harsh working and combat environments. It is designed to be used by both [[Spartan]]s and non-augmented personnel in all manner of dangerous conditions.{{Ref/Reuse|S4Customization}} While the Spartans' [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] already protects against many things, the OSTEO is more specialized towards the specific role of protecting against natural and artificial environmental hazards, and provides a platform that is not exclusively usable by Spartans. Where MJOLNIR offer protections to a Spartan operating in compromised conditions, OSTEO-derived technologies maximize life maintenance effectiveness for extended periods, providing more optimized solutions for a wider range of suitable operators—including non-augmented military and [[civilian]] personnel.{{Ref/Reuse|CF142}} The OSTEO armor is also hardened against cyberattacks.{{Ref/Site|Id=Twitch|URL=https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1847985516|Site=Twitch|Page=Halo|Detail=Halo Infinite Season 4 Preview (6/16 @ 1pm pt)|Quote=But also is unique because it is hardened against cyberattack. So, it is able to have a higher level of cybersecurity than any other cores or armors, and it's suited for the infection that we have.|Quotee=Sean Baron (at 39:13)|D=16|M=06|Y=2023}} | ||
The OSTEO armor platform—even when utilized by civilians—is outfitted with onboard solutions to interface with various infotech and [[artificial intelligence]] control systems, which have become ubiquitously integrated into [[:Category:26th century|twenty-sixth century]] industrial and environmental infrastructures. These features give OSTEO wearers the agility to deal with both the technological and physical sides of hazardous events that might befall a human colony or installation.{{Ref/Reuse|CF142}} | |||
The T21-HEX4 hip utility is considered part of the complete OSTEO suit, being included on the relevant shipping manifest, but only [[Imbrium Machine Complex]] knows what it does.{{Ref/Game|Id=HIT21HEX4|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=T21-HEX4 Utility Description|Quote=It's part of the shipping manifest of a complete OSTEO, but only IMC knows what it does, exactly.}} | |||
===Development history=== | |||
In the years after the [[Human-Covenant War]], private industry across several [[human]] [[Human colonies|colonies]] saw rapid development in many fields, with [[Powered exoskeleton|exoskeletal frames]] seeing considerable research and development. Project: OSTEO and its resulting combat engineering suit were among the fruits of these advancements. Primarily developed by [[Imbrium Machine Complex]], the OSTEO armor system is the result of a shared-source initiative to build an armor platform wearable by both supersoldiers and non-augmented humans for everything from construction and exploration to security and combat applications.{{Ref/Reuse|CF142}} Refitted [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI]] helmets called [[Mark VI CBRN]] were used throughout the testing and evaluation of OSTEO.{{Ref/Game|Id=HIMarkVICBRN|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=Mark VI CBRN - Helmet Description|Quote=Refitted Mark VI helmets were used throughout the testing and evaluation of OSTEO.}} In the wake of the galaxy’s [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|most recent conflicts]], the [[United Nations Space Command]] has expressed interest in projects like OSTEO, modifying industrial-focused designs to used by Spartans and special forces operatives.{{Ref/Reuse|CF142}} | |||
===Usage=== | ===Usage=== | ||
OSTEO armor is used by personnel who are sent on missions deep into dying [[Forerunner]] facilities, for hunters operating in and around poisoned water and air, search teams exploring sites scarred by [[:Category:Chemical weapons|chemical]], [[:Category:Biological weapons|biological]], radiological, and [[nuclear weapon]]s used in the Human-Covenant War,{{Ref/Reuse|S4Customization}} as well as those facing pockets of [[Flood]] infestation.{{Ref/Reuse|CF142}} It is also used by Spartan [[combat engineer]]s working in demolition and hazmat missions, in addition to carrying out specialist tasks which require super-human reactions, strength, and situational awareness.{{Ref/Reuse|HIAHHelmetHazmat}} | |||
