==Overview==
===Design details===
The helmet uses a Prototype [[VISR]] 5.0 monocular plating. The chest has a duress-limiting collar base for strain testing, a component shelf for ad hoc modularity. The reactor pack has dynamic reactor vents to prevent internal expenditure.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

===Development history===
The Vanguard variant was manufactured by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]] on [[New Carthage]] in the industrial township of [[Kotka]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4 Armory}} Vanguard-class armor was a state-of-the-art front-line tech used primarily by [[SPARTAN-IV]] personnel in direct enemy engagement. Unlike other armor systems that facilitate secondary and tertiary needs, it focuses solely on face-to-face combat with enemy units.{{Ref/Reuse|H4 Armory}}

Vanguard is often used by Hannibal as a test bed for new technology this means it has seen more action in [[War Games]] due to its over-arching purpose.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
