| In [[2535]], after being tested at Ushuaia's [[Siófok Firing Range]], the Air Assault helmet was introduced as a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV MJOLNIR armor]] and was also adopted as the standard helmet of the UNSC Army's airborne division. In late [[2551]], the helmet was upgraded for use with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR system]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|HR}}

|
| After the first wave of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2]] systems, based on requests of veteran [[Spartan-II]] and [[Spartan-III]] operatives, the [[UNSC Ordnance Commission]] considered reassessing a refined and upgraded version of the Mark V version of this suit. This led to the creation of the [[INTRUDER-class Mjolnir]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Noble|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-noble-intentions|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Noble Intentions|D=9|M=7|Y=2019}}
| | In early [[2553]], Air Assault was considered a front runner for the standard armor set issued to newly recruited Spartan-IVs.<ref>[http://www.haloarchive.com/forum/index.php?/topic/333-halo-online-closed-beta-launching-in-russia/page-3#entry8090 '''Halo Archive Forums''' - ''Halo: Online (Closed Beta launching in Russia) - Page 3'']</ref> However, the contract ultimately went to [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]]' [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Recruit|RECRUIT-class suite]]. |
| | |
| As late as [[2560]], the GEN1 Air Assault helmet could still be requisitioned by [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]], upgraded to be roughly equivalent to GEN3.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFParallel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/parallel-threads|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Parallel Threads|D=25|M=6|Y=2021}}

| |
| The Air Assault helmet's superficial design remained largely unchanged during the transition from GEN1 to GEN2. The GEN2 Air Assault helmet is equipped with a long range integrated comm network. The new pauldrons seem to have succeeded the GEN1 [[FJ/PARA]] in design and function as they have a low-drag pauldron system. The chest has a locking retrieval brace.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

| After the Human-Covenant War, the [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]] began manufacturing the GEN2 version of the Air Assault helmet, as well as the matching torso armor and shoulder pieces. It was tested in the [[Buffalo Breaker Yards]], and the Cascadian city of [[Mindoro]]. Air Assault met all of the [[UNSC Ordnance Commission]] strictures for ground combat.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

| In the ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' version of ''Halo 3'', the Air Assault variant was added as part of [[Series 5: Anvil]] content. With the updated ''Halo 3'' [[Armor customization (Halo 3)|armor customization]] options, the players can now fit their Spartan with Air Assault helmet, chest, shoulders, forearms and legs. The description of the armor pieces are the same for every set. The set is one of twelve [[Armor customization (Halo Online)|armor sets]] originating from the cancelled ''[[Halo Online]]'' brought into ''The Master Chief Collection'', originally known as ''Lander'' in the cancelled game.
