| ===Design details===
| | The MJOLNIR/Pioneer variant was manufactured and produced by [[Acheron Security]]. It was tested at [[Gdynia]], [[Acheron Fossae]] on [[Mars]]. The Pioneer was developed as a result of the [[UEG]]'s pioneer initiative in order to claim new territories for colonization. The Pioneer variant has been used in assisting in the security and protection of over two dozen field teams and science detachment.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 173''</ref> The armor was first used during the first exploration efforts of [[Installation 03]].<ref name="Guide">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide ''Halo 4 Interactive Guide'']</ref><ref>[https://youtube.com/watch?v=PUnnftLRSzs&feature=player_detailpage#t=284s '''YouTube''': ''PAX Prime 2012 Day 1'']</ref> Pioneer-class armor is equipped by Spartans providing protection to [[ONI]] expeditionary groups.<ref name="Guide"/> It is intended primarily for reconnaissance operations in unknown or hostile environments. |

It also features a twin-plated visual sensor for increased range of spectrum. The suit also has PNR-S7 split-convex pauldrons.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} | |
| | |
| ===Development history===
| |
| As a result of the [[UEG]]'s pioneer initiative in order to claim new territories for colonization, [[Acheron Security]] set aside a budget and design team specifically for such endeavors, and within months Pioneer was presented. The suit was eventually put into full production and tested at the [[Acheron Trauma Sim]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

| | |
| It is intended primarily for reconnaissance operations in unknown or hostile environments,{{Ref/Reuse|h4guide}} and was constructed to endure the rigors of a potentially hostile, alien environment, and to optimize overall performance through inhibitor mitigation.{{Ref/Site|Id=h4guide|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/47d93a8b-6d8f-4f4b-8d98-e3b6d10d8192/pioneer|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Armor Types: Pioneer|D=23|M=4|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Armor Types}} It also pairs advanced environmental sensors with Acheron's latest threat detection systems.{{Ref/Reuse|H5}} The early prototype of the suit{{Ref/Site|Id=CFAO|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/armor-online|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Armor Online}} later recieved additional testing and upgrades at [[ANVIL Station]] following its initial usage on Installation 03.{{Ref/Game|Id=H3MCCDesc|MCC|''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Armor customization (Halo 3)|customisation]] menu}} The suit went into a full production run following its ANVIL testing.{{Ref/Reuse|CFAO}}

| ===Usage===
| |
| Pioneer-class armor is equipped by [[Spartan]]s providing protection to [[ONI]] expeditionary groups.{{Ref/Reuse|h4guide}} | |
