The '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/J variant''', colloquially known as '''JFO''' or '''Joint Fires Observer''', is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] manufactured by [[Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Game|Id=HR|HR|Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|Armory|Detail=JFO Helmet - Description|Quote=Beweglichrüstungsysteme was home to many projects attached to the MJOLNIR program.}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=94}}


==GEN1 overview==
The '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V[J]''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]]. It was designed and tested at the [[Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme]] facility in [[Wikipedia:Essen|Essen]], [[Unified German Republic|Germany]] for use with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR armor]].<ref name="Armory">'''Halo: Reach''', ''[[The Armory]]''</ref>
===Design details===
The JFO design was engineered with the goal of allowing lone [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]] to have improved communication when deep behind enemy lines, allowing them to better conduct cross-branch artillery request communication/coordination by Spartans across the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. Spartans fielding the JFO suit are typically deployed with regular firearms and equipment, though are usually also outfitted with the latest targeting hardware in systems such as the [[H-165 target locator]] or its [[H-295 target designator|successor]]. Target designators are [[Smart-linking|smart-linked]] to the suit's onboard technology suite, allowing the user to make quick and decisive air strikes in the field.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}


The helmet is compatible with the [[UA attachments#Type O5|Type O5]] up-armour module and [[Model 990101-1 FLAMINGO]] hardened uplink.
==In-game information==
===Helmet===
Designed and tested at Beweglichrüstungsysteme this helmet is fully compatible with all armor systems. <br>
'''Base Price''': 60,000 cR, Lt. Colonel
*Description: Beweglichrüstungsysteme was home to many projects attached to the MJOLNIR program.
'''HUL-I Price''': 20,000 cR, Lt. Colonel
*Description: External hardened uplink-improved; upgraded variant of the standard issue HUL unit.
'''UA Price''': 10,000 cR, Lt. Colonel
*Description: Up-armored variant of the base Mk.V[J] pattern helmet.
The JFO helmet appears in the armory upon reaching the rank of Warrant Officer, but is not unlocked until Lieutenant Colonel.<ref name="Armory"/>


===Development history===
Two upgrades are available for the helmet. The first adds a Hardened Uplink Module-Improved, (HUL-I), and the second adds an Up-Armor plate (UA).<ref name="Armory"/>
JFO was developed by [[Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme]] at the [[Special Warfare Center Essen]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} It was considered an "ill-favored" entry into MJOLNIR development, but the JFO helmets were ultimately one of its most successful entries.{{Ref/Reuse|HI}} As late as [[2560]], the GEN1 JFO 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}}


===Usage===
The helmet features a large visor, shaped like a shield or a fattened "T", and has two small air intakes on the cheek areas. Overall, the helmet provides significant armor coverage, protecting the majority of the head while maintaining a large field of vision.
JFO was often fielded by single Spartans in reconnaissance, infiltration, and artillery targeting scenarios behind enemy lines.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} In [[2553]], the JFO helmet was worn by [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-III]] [[Owen-B096]] as part of his mission with [[Outpost Discovery]].{{Ref/Comic|Halo: Lone Wolf}}{{Ref/Generic|[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]}}

*JFO stands for [[wikipedia:Artillery observer#Forward observers in the U.S. Army/U.S. Marine Corps|Joint Fires Observer]], a United States military designation for troops who coordinate fire support from land-based artillery and naval gun formations, as well as [[wikipedia:Close air support|close air support]].

*The visor of the JFO helmet somewhat resembles the faceplate of the [[Marvel Comics]] character [[wikipedia:Iron Man|Iron Man]].
*The shape of the helmet and the large visor also give it something of a resemblance to the helmets worn by [[New Mombasa Police Department|NMPD]] officers.
