'''AVIATOR-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] manufactured by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4}}

==GEN2 overview==
===Design details===
The Aviator helmet has a [[pilot]]-centric [[HUD]] integration.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} This ultrawideband machine interlink gives [[Spartan-IV]] pilots unparalleled control over their aircraft.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G|H5G|Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Aviator - Helmet Description|Quote=Usable only by augmented personnel, the AVIATOR helmet's ultrawideband machine interlink gives Spartan-IV pilots unparalleled control over their aircraft.}}{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G1|H5G|Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Aviator - Body Description|Quote=The AVIATOR suite includes integral gravity compensators and hardware-accelerated flight combat interlinks.}} The helmet also has a pressure-stabilized rebreather feed.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} 

The Aviator chest has a rigid collar to mitigate flight duress.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} The Aviator suite also includes integral [[Gravitics|gravity compensators]] and hardware-accelerated flight combat interlinks.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} 

===Development history===
For decades the notion of specialized pilot armor for Spartans was thought redundant given MJOLNIR variants were already suited for the rigors. With the segregation of the Spartan-IVs into their own [[Spartan Operations|autonomous branch]], the need for multiple intra-organizational disciplines materialized. This led to the Aviator variant's creation.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

Aviator was manufactured by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]] and tested at [[WG/Facility 93-00/Kotka]]. It was built from the ground up and was designed for the operation of [[GA-TL1 Longsword]]s, [[FSS-1000 Sabre]]s, F-41 Broadswords, and [[B-65 Shortsword]] bombers.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

===Usage===
Spartan pilots meeting D3-17 regulations and higher are required to use this armor in [[F-41 Broadsword|Broadsword]] A/X attack fighter engagements operations to comply with standard asset security protocols and the Budgetary Retention Hearings of [[2554]].{{Ref/Site|Id=h4guide|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/be72adec-2a13-4f5b-8bfb-6cc86cb166a6/aviator|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Armor Types: Aviator|D=23|M=4|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Armor Types}}

Because of the increased production of the vehicles the Aviator armor was made for, this variant has become popular among Spartans.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} It is employed by the Spartan [[Space fighter|interceptor]] pilots attached to the security of [[ANVIL Station]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H3MCC|MCC|Armor permutations (Halo 3)|Halo 3 Spartan Armor Customization|Detail=Aviator - Description|Quote=Employed by interceptor squadrons assigned to ANVIL Station.}}

==GEN3 overview==
===Design details===
The GEN3 Aviator helmet is tailored for use by cybernetically augmented aerospace pilots. Among its many special features is a high-bandwidth machine interlink configured to operate seamlessly with next-gen neural interlaces.
