The facility was responsible for testing the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/AA variant]], an improved version of the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s' [[ODST armor#helmet|signature helmet]], for the [[UNSC Army]]'s Airborne division.<ref name="EVG"/><ref group="Note">According to ''Halo: Reach''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Armory, the AA helmet was developed as an improvement of the ODST helmet. According to ''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide'', the former helmet's design was influenced by Ushuaia's extensive work on the Marine Corps BDU, and it is implied that the AA helmet was not modified from the ODST helmet's design. Given the context of these apparently conflicting statements, it is possible that the AA helmet was not derived from the ODST helmet ''per se'', but was instead developed "from scratch", with the ODST helmet serving as inspiration; it was designed to possess similar features and functionality, resulting in a similar overall appearance.</ref> | |||
