The [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] is equipped with a '''fail-safe detonation system'''. If a [[SPARTAN programs|Spartan]] is killed or wounded fatally, or they are forced to shed the armor in the field, the [[self-destruct]] protocol will have to be enacted by either themselves or a nearby Spartan. This is done to avoid capture of the suit and/or the wearer for identification or technological study. | The [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] is equipped with a '''fail-safe detonation system'''.
