== Fail-Safe Detonation ==


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.{{Ref/Novel|Id=FS34|FS|Chapter=34}}
===Purpose===
A "Fail-Safe Detonation" is a term that was used to explain the Self Destruct system of a W.I.A, or K.I.A [[Spartan-II]] [[Mjolnir Powered Amored Suit]]. Once a [[Spartan]] is killed or wounded fatally, he/she will have to active the protocal themselves or a close by Spartan. This is done to avoid capture of the suite and or wearer for identification or technological study.


==Function==
===Effectiveness===
The tiny access panel at the back of the suit is opened to activate the protocol, it is activated by typing several digits only Spartans know. Once activated, a fifteen-second countdown timer starts. Once it hits zero, the suit's [[fusion reactor]] overloads and burns everything in its path in a ten-meter radius with a follow-up explosion to finish anything alive.{{Ref/Reuse|FS34}}
The tiny access panel at the back of the suite is opened to activate the protocal, it is activated by typing sevral digits only the wearer knows. Once activated, a 15 second count down timer starts. Once it hits zero, the the suite Fusion reactor overloads and burns everything in its path in a 10 meter radius with a follow up explosion to finish anything alive.

*[[Frederic-104]]'s damaged and inert [[CENTURION-class Mjolnir]] suit's fail-safe detonation system was activated at the conclusion of [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE]] on [[Gao]] in order to prevent the armor from falling into enemy hands, destroying two low-flying Gao [[MV-29 Wyvern]]s in the process.{{Ref/Novel|LL|Chapter=27}}
