AVIATOR-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor manufactured by Hannibal Weapon Systems.[3]
GEN2 overviewEdit
Design detailsEdit
The Aviator helmet has a pilot-centric HUD integration.[1] This ultrawideband machine interlink gives Spartan-IV pilots unparalleled control over their aircraft.[4][5] The helmet also has a pressure-stabilized rebreather feed.[1]
The Aviator chest has a rigid collar to mitigate flight duress.[1] The Aviator suite also includes integral gravity compensators and hardware-accelerated flight combat interlinks.[1]
Development historyEdit
For decades the notion of specialized pilot armor for Spartans was thought redundant given MJOLNIR variants were already suited for the rigors. With the segregation of the Spartan-IVs into their own autonomous branch, the need for multiple intra-organizational disciplines materialized. This led to the Aviator variant's creation.[1]
Aviator was manufactured by Hannibal Weapon Systems and tested at WG/Facility 93-00/Kotka. It was built from the ground up and was designed for the operation of GA-TL1 Longswords, FSS-1000 Sabres, F-41 Broadswords, and B-65 Shortsword bombers.[1]
UsageEdit
Spartan pilots meeting D3-17 regulations and higher are required to use this armor in Broadsword A/X attack fighter engagements operations to comply with standard asset security protocols and the Budgetary Retention Hearings of 2554.[6]
Because of the increased production of the vehicles the Aviator armor was made for, this variant has become popular among Spartans.[1] It is employed by the Spartan interceptor pilots attached to the security of ANVIL Station.[7]
GEN3 overviewEdit
Design detailsEdit
The GEN3 Aviator helmet is tailored for use by cybernetically augmented aerospace pilots. Among its many special features is a high-bandwidth machine interlink configured to operate seamlessly with next-gen neural interlaces.
In-game informationEdit
Halo 3 MCC - PrototypeEdit

The description of the armor pieces are the same for every set.
