An '''armored matrix''', also called a '''memory matrix''',<ref>'''[[Halo: The Great Journey: The Art of Building Worlds]]''', ''page 113''</ref> is a reinforced housing used by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] to securely transport an [[artificial intelligence]] construct. An armored matrix may be used when a [[holotank]] is not available, such as on a battlefield. Though the AI contained within can communicate verbally, there is no hologram emitter for it to manifest a body; hence, the AI can talk, but it cannot see.<ref name="Flood">'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 317''</ref>

Class-C Military AIs serving under [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODST]] commanding officers are carried in armored matrices aboard the officers' [[drop pod]]s. In this manner they may ride into a combat zone intact and be further operated when a [[Military base|firebase]] or other operational command post is put into place.{{Ref/Reuse|Flood}}

An armored matrix was used to house the AI [[Cortana]] while she was transferred by [[Spartan-III]] [[Noble Team]] to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} during the [[Fall of Reach]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Package]]''</ref> During an unspecified battle, [[Admiral]] [[Kovalic]] was protecting the armored matrix of an unknown AI from [[Covenant]] forces. With the help of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|Shock Trooper]] [[Sarah Palmer]], Kovalic and the AI made it safely off the planet.<ref>'''[[Halo: Initiation]]''', ''[[Halo: Initiation Issue 1|Issue #1]]''</ref>
