After the [[Human-Covenant War]], the rights to creating the Gungnir-class Mjolnir were acquired by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]], which developed and tested the MJOLNIR [GEN2] variant of the armor at [[WG/Facility 93-00/Kotka]] on [[New Carthage]].{{Ref/Book|Id=H4EVG|H4EVG|Page=154}} The armor has evolved into a well-rounded suit,{{Ref/Game|H5G|Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor Permutations|Detail=GUNGNIR - Body Description}} with some [[SPARTAN-IV Program| | After the [[Human-Covenant War]], the rights to creating the Gungnir-class Mjolnir were acquired by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]], which developed and tested the MJOLNIR [GEN2] variant of the armor at [[WG/Facility 93-00/Kotka]] on [[New Carthage]].{{Ref/Book|Id=H4EVG|H4EVG|Page=154}} The armor has evolved into a well-rounded suit,{{Ref/Game|H5G|Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor Permutations|Detail=GUNGNIR - Body Description}} with some [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan-IVs]] favoring the helmet for its isolated video optics, [[Wyrd III]] sensory optimization, and enhanced cranial plating.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} The results of the project would also see use outside its original scope: the target acquisition and tracking system from the GUNGNIR helmet was adapted into various UNSC weapon systems,{{Ref/Game|H5G|Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor Permutations|Detail=GUNGNIR - Helmet Description}} while elements of the Mjolnir Mark V[G] armor, including the shoulder pauldrons, was adapted into the [[Armor accessories/SAP|SAP armor accessories]] in the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|MJOLNIR [GEN3] armor]].{{Ref/Site|D=14|M=6|Y=2021|URL=https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/halo-infinite|Site=Xbox|Page=Halo Infinite}} | ||
