The UNSC's postwar prototype flagship, {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, is equipped with a number of Mark 2551 MAC dorsal turrets.

During [[Battle of Requiem|the initial battle]] on the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] [[Requiem]] in [[2557]], the "MAC network" controlling these turrets was disabled by troops of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] fighting for the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]], through the use of three jamming devices placed on the ''Infinity'''s hull. Once these jammers were destroyed by [[John-117]], [[Cortana]] successfully brought the network back online in a few minutes, though a link relating to "EM relays" needed to be manually initiated before they could fire. When they did, they successfuly forced the Didact in his [[Cryptum]] and his allies to retreat. Along with ''Infinity's'' anti-aircraft batteries, the turrets shot down at least two {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}}s.<ref name = "H4L4">'''[[Halo 4]]''', campaign level ''[[Infinity (level)|Infinity]]''</ref> | ||
[[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]]'s [[Ivanoff Station]] near [[Installation 03]] made use of several automated Mk. 2551 Onagers for defense against space debris and later against at least three [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}}s when the station was [[Raid on Ivanoff Station|attacked]] by Covenant forces under the command of the Didact himself. The station's defenses were reprogramed by [[Cortana]] to give the evacuating personnel covering fire against the attacking Covenant forces. The Onagers shot down multiple approaching Phantoms, though some managed to slip through their defensive fire to land troops on the station. | [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]]'s [[Ivanoff Station]] near [[Installation 03]] made use of several automated Mk. 2551 Onagers for defense against space debris and later against at least three [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}}s when the station was [[Raid on Ivanoff Station|attacked]] by Covenant forces under the command of the Didact himself.
