'''Project HAYABUSA''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] powered armor program developed independently from, and as a rival to [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Project MJOLNIR]]. The program later produced a MJOLNIR variant for the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI generation]].<ref name="ENC">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]] (2011)''' ''- Page 96''</ref>

===Specifications===

The Hayabusa armor's advanced materials decreased its weight by nearly one-third,{{Ref/Reuse|h3}} and was aesthetically designed after ancient Japanese samurai armor. It includes spiked shoulder pauldrons (correctly referred to as ''s'ode'').

The Hayabusa armor's helmet was designed with a defensive and ultraviolet-protective visor. Like all UNSC helmets, the visor is the weakest part. Thus, a small visor was designed to be more difficult to accurately penetrate. As such, the small visor provides for better protection of the wearer as well as better camouflage. The Hayabusa was designed with greater emphasis on heavy lifting and [[extra-vehicular activity]] than the MJOLNIR. It is slightly slower and less dexterous than its MJOLNIR counterpart, though it is nonetheless highly effective and possesses most of the design features of the MJOLNIR Mark VI.<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia (2009)''' ''- Page 93''</ref>

The Hayabusa armor was at some point intended for inclusion in ''[[Halo 4]]''{{'}}s [[multiplayer]]. Concept art was created for a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|<nowiki>[GEN2]</nowiki>]] iteration of the armor by artist Gabo Garza.{{Ref/Site|Id=GaboGarzaArtstation|URL=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/XBk5Na|Site=ArtStation|Page=SPARTANS MP, Gabo Garza}} A high-poly model of this armour was later created by an artist at [[Liquid Development]], a studio which assisted in the creation of ''Halo 4''{{'}}s multiplayer armour sets. However, this version of Hayabusa has never been seen implemented within the game engine, and was not present in the final game.
