There are several modules for external target acquisition systems, each with its own distinct physical appearance.
There have been two observed modules for external target acquisition systems, each with its own distinct physical appearance.

===DROCTULF===
[[File:HINF TAS Droctulf Helmet Attachment Icon.png|thumb|150px|The DROCTULF module on the [[ZVEZDA-class Mjolnir|Zvezda]] helmet.]]
Manufactured by [[Meyer e.V.]], the DROCTULF module incorporated technologies adjacent to [[Project THEIA]] to reduce the bulk and complexity of external target acquisition systems.{{Ref/Game|Id=droctulf|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=TAS/DROCTULF - Helmet Attachment Description|Quote=DROCTULF uses THEIA-adjacent technologies to reduce the bulk and complexity of external target acquisition systems.}} The DROCTULF module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the [[ZVEZDA-class Mjolnir]] helmet.

===FES/BRONTES===
[[File:HINF TAS FES BRONTES Helmet Attachment Icon.png|thumb|150px|The FES/BRONTES module on the [[ARDENT-class Mjolnir|Ardent]] helmet.]]
The FES/BRONTES module presumably comes in two forms: a variant manufactured by the [[United Nations Space Command]] and a variant recreated by the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} while on [[Installation 00]].{{Ref/Reuse|HI}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=Hippo|Halo: Hippocratica}}{{Ref/Note|Id=Ardent|August-099 is depicted wearing an Ardent helmet with TAS/FES/BRONTES attachment in ''[[Halo: Hippocratica]]''. This story is set in [[2560]], presumably while the ''Spirit of Fire'' and crew are still at Installation 00, at least according to [[Adam Andrews]]'s knowledge of the vessel's whereabouts. The Armor Hall description of the helmet attachment describes it as created by Isabel using spare parts, an ONI firmware called "BRONTES", and reused up-links made by Isabel herself leaves room for the FES/BRONTES attachment to be a recreation of an existing BRONTES attachment. As this is the most logical reconciliation of the discrepancy, this article describes it as such.}} The FES/BRONTES module build by the ''Spirit of Fire'' is a field-expedient combination of spare parts, ONI's "BRONTES" firmware, and reused up-links designed by the [[Smart AI]] [[Isabel]], providing the equipped Spartans on the Lesser Ark with a direct connection to the ship's targeting array.{{Ref/Game|Id=Brontes|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=TAS/FES/BRONTES - Helmet Attachment Description|Quote=A field-expedient synthesis of spare parts, ONI BRONTES firmware, and repurposed up-links designed by Isabel to provide a direct connection for Spartans to the ''Spirit of Fire''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s targeting array.}}
 
The FES/BRONTES module is compatible with:
*[[ARDENT-class Mjolnir]]
*[[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV]]
*[[ULRICH-class Mjolnir]]

===GUNGNIR MOD 3===
[[File:HINF-TASGUNGNIRMOD3.png|thumb|150px|The GUNGNIR MOD 3 module on the [[GUNGNIR-class Mjolnir|GUNGNIR]] helmet.]]
Manufactured by [[Misriah Armory]] and based on [[Project GUNGNIR]], the GUNGNIR MOD 3 adds a face shield with an integrated [[Wyrd optics suite#Wyrd III|Wyrd III target acquisition package]], which would go on to be a defining standard of UNSC fire control systems.{{Ref/Game|Id=gungnirmod3|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=TAS/GUNGNIR MOD 3 - Helmet Attachment Description|Quote=The Wyrd III target acquisition package has gone on to be a defining standard of UNSC fire control systems.}} The GUNGNIR MOD 3 module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the [[GUNGNIR-class Mjolnir]] helmet.{{Ref/Game|Id=hrgungnir|HR|Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|Armory|Detail=GUNGNIR - Helmet Description|Quote=The Mk.V[G] was developed as part of the GUNGNIR Program alongside the M6 G/GNR Weapon system.
