The MJOLNIR/AA variant was developed for use by the [[UNSC Army Airborne]]. It was designed as an improvement to the [[ODST armor#Helmet|ODST helmet]]<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', Armory, MJOLNIR AA variant description: ''"The MJOLNIR/AA variant was developed as an improvement of the venerable ODST helmet."''</ref> and was heavily influenced by Ushuaia's previous work on the [[UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform|Marine Corps BDU]].<ref name="EVG"/> In [[2535]], after being tested at Ushuaia's [[Siófok Firing Range]], the Air Assault helmet was introduced as a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV MJOLNIR armor]] and was also adopted as the standard helmet of the Airborne.<ref name="EVG"/> In [[2551]], the helmet was upgraded for use with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR system]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''Armory''</ref><ref name="EVG"/>

===Development history===
While the Air Assault was developed for use by [[UNSC Army airborne]] units,{{Ref/Game|Id=HR|HR|Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|Spartan Armor Customization|Detail=Air Assault - Helmet Description|Quote=Entered service in 2535; the MJOLNIR/AA variant is exclusive to Army airborne units.}} the MJOLNIR variant differed from those used by the UNSC Army airbone units at a fundamental technical level.{{Ref/Game|Id=HI|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=Air Assault - Helmet Description|Quote=Spartan AIR ASSAULT-class helmets differ at a fundamental technical level from those issued to Army airborne units.}} It was designed as an improvement to the [[ODST armor#Helmet|ODST helmet]] and was heavily influenced by Ushuaia's previous work on the [[UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform|Marine Corps BDU]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Air Assault helmets in the FC-I configuration were preferred by [[UNSC Army Pathfinders]].{{Ref/Game|Id=AA|HR|Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|Armory|Detail=Air Assault - FC-I Helmet Description|Quote=Command network module-Improved; external hardened uplink. A favorite of Pathfinder units.}}


===GEN2===
In [[2535]], after being tested at Ushuaia's [[Siófok Firing Range]], the Air Assault helmet was introduced as a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV MJOLNIR armor]] and was also adopted as the standard helmet of the UNSC Army's airborne division. In late [[2551]], the helmet was upgraded for use with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR system]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|HR}}
{{Article Quote|Primarily used by ONI security personnel on the skyhooks above Earth and Luna.}}
 
After the Human-Covenant War, the [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]] began manufacturing the GEN2 version of the Air Assault helmet, as well as the matching torso armor and shoulder pieces. The Air Assault helmet's superficial design remained largely unchanged during the transition from GEN1 to GEN2 and the new shoulders seem to have succeeded the GEN1 [[FJ/PARA]] in design and function.<ref name="H4 Armory"/><ref name="h4guide"/>
After the first wave of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2]] systems, based on requests of veteran [[Spartan-II]] and [[Spartan-III]] operatives, the [[UNSC Ordnance Commission]] considered reassessing a refined and upgraded version of the Mark V version of this suit. This led to the creation of the [[INTRUDER-class Mjolnir]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Noble|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-noble-intentions|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Noble Intentions|D=9|M=7|Y=2019}}
 
As late as [[2560]], the GEN1 Air Assault helmet could still be requisitioned by [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]], upgraded to be roughly equivalent to GEN3.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFParallel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/parallel-threads|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Parallel Threads|D=25|M=6|Y=2021}}

{{Article quote|Primarily used by ONI security personnel on the skyhooks above Earth and Luna.{{Ref/Reuse|H4}}}}
===Design details===
The Air Assault helmet's superficial design remained largely unchanged during the transition from GEN1 to GEN2. The GEN2 Air Assault helmet is equipped with a long range integrated comm network. The new pauldrons seem to have succeeded the GEN1 [[FJ/PARA]] in design and function as they have a low-drag pauldron system. The chest has a locking retrieval brace.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
 
===Development history===
After the Human-Covenant War, the [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]] began manufacturing the GEN2 version of the Air Assault helmet, as well as the matching torso armor and shoulder pieces. It was tested in the [[Buffalo Breaker Yards]], and the Cascadian city of [[Mindoro]]. Air Assault met all of the [[UNSC Ordnance Commission]] strictures for ground combat.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
 
GEN2 Air Assault served as the basis for GEN3 [[VOLANT-class Mjolnir]].{{Ref/Game|Id=HI3|HI|Armor customization (Halo Infinite|Spartan Armor Customization|Detail=Volant - Description|Quote=VOLANT is based on the MJOLNIR/AA series of GEN2 helmets, but incorporates design tweaks requested by Spartans working with Army airborne units.}}
===Usage===
GEN2 Air Assault provides functional support across a number of colonies as well as remotely deployed combat units. This set is also primarily used by [[ONI]] security personnel on the skyhooks above Earth and Luna.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} A slightly altered version of the Air Assault GEN2 is a favorite of Spartans tasked with assisting [[ANVIL Station]] security personnel.{{Ref/Game|Id=H3MCCDesc|MCC|''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Armor customization (Halo 3)|customisation]] menu}}
 
The helmet is popular among Spartan fireteam leaders due to its communications system, though Napthali continues to market the helmet to the UNSC Army.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Air Assault - Helmet Description|Quote=The AIR ASSAULT helmet's long-range comm system makes it popular with Spartan fireteam leaders, but Naphtali also markets this helmet to Army special forces.}} Offshoots of the Air Assault armor have also been considered for adoption by unaugmented [[Delta-Six Division]] operators, but larger-scale adoption of the system has been hindered by its high cost, with each suit costing as much as a [[dropship]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G1|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Air Assault - Body Description|Quote=AIR ASSAULT spin-offs were considered for adoption by unaugmented Delta-Six operators, but each suit costs as much as a dropship.}}

===''Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta''===
In the ''[[Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta]]'' there was a "DPT" skin which became the "Disrupt" skin in the final game. This skin had descriptions for it as follows:
*'''Helmet description''': This coating incorporates impregnated metamaterials that mask the AIR ASSAULT armor's signature in both the near-infrared and near-ultraviolet spectrum.
*'''Body description''': AIR ASSAULT users take advantage of even the smallest tactical advantage to avoid being spotted in transit to the combat zone.
 
===''Halo 5: Guardians'' - GEN2===
The ''Halo 4'' design of Air Assault returned in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' as an [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor permutation]] unlockable via the [[Requisition system]]. The Air Assault body component consists of the Air Assault chest and legs, with the [[RICOCHET-class Mjolnir|Ricochet]] forearms and [[RG-63 Counter]] legs. The GEN1-styled Air Assault armor - modelled after the armor design employed by Catherine-B320 in ''Halo: Reach'' - returned to ''Halo 5'' with the release of [[Memories of Reach]], rebranded as the [[INTRUDER-class Mjolnir|Intruder]] armor.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The Air Assault helmet, (especially the GEN2 version), closely resembles [[:File:H2-ODST-Squad.jpg|the helmets]] worn by Orbital Drop Shock Troopers in ''[[Halo 2]]''. The most prominent similarity is the faceplate, which is much less rounded than the version of the ODST helmet seen in post-''Halo 2'' media.

*The GEN2 Air Assault chestplate somewhat resembles that of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV]] Gray Team wore, this is because ''Halo 4 Championship DLC'' has a Mark V armor set.
*The GEN2 Air Assault chestplate closely resembles that of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|MJOLNIR Mark V]], the [[B-class Mjolnir|[B] Variant]] specifically, and the similar [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV]] variant worn by [[Gray Team]].

AIR ASSAULT-class Mjolnir, also designated as the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/AA variant, is a MJOLNIR armor variant originally designed by Ushuaia Armory, with the GEN2 version being manufactured by the Naphtali Contractor Corporation.[3]

GEN1 overview[edit]

“ Entered service in 2535; the MJOLNIR/AA variant is exclusive to Army airborne units.[4] ”

Design details[edit]

The GEN1 Air Assault helmet offers key advantages during airborne deployment scenarios. It has specialized optics that can provide real-time satellite imagery and enemy signature allocation.[1] The helmet is compatible with the Type C1 UA module, AN/PZY-990T STARLIGHT remote sensor and AN/PZY-6011Y TYPHON Command Network Module.

Development history[edit]

While the Air Assault was developed for use by UNSC Army airborne units,[4] the MJOLNIR variant differed from those used by the UNSC Army airbone units at a fundamental technical level.[5] It was designed as an improvement to the ODST helmet and was heavily influenced by Ushuaia's previous work on the Marine Corps BDU.[1] Air Assault helmets in the FC-I configuration were preferred by UNSC Army Pathfinders.[6]

In 2535, after being tested at Ushuaia's Siófok Firing Range, the Air Assault helmet was introduced as a variant of the Mark IV MJOLNIR armor and was also adopted as the standard helmet of the UNSC Army's airborne division. In late 2551, the helmet was upgraded for use with the Mark V MJOLNIR system.[1][4]

After the first wave of GEN2 systems, based on requests of veteran Spartan-II and Spartan-III operatives, the UNSC Ordnance Commission considered reassessing a refined and upgraded version of the Mark V version of this suit. This led to the creation of the INTRUDER-class Mjolnir.[7]

As late as 2560, the GEN1 Air Assault helmet could still be requisitioned by Spartans, upgraded to be roughly equivalent to GEN3.[8]

Usage[edit]

Spartan Catherine-B320 of NOBLE Team wore a Mark V AA helmet during the Battle of Fumirole[9] and the Fall of Reach.[4] During the Battle of Earth, ONI deployed security personnel with the Air Assault armor to prevent Covenant forces from gaining control of the skyhook defense complexes above Earth and Luna.[10]

GEN2 overview[edit]

“ Primarily used by ONI security personnel on the skyhooks above Earth and Luna.[3] ”

Design details[edit]

The Air Assault helmet's superficial design remained largely unchanged during the transition from GEN1 to GEN2. The GEN2 Air Assault helmet is equipped with a long range integrated comm network. The new pauldrons seem to have succeeded the GEN1 FJ/PARA in design and function as they have a low-drag pauldron system. The chest has a locking retrieval brace.[2]

Development history[edit]

After the Human-Covenant War, the Naphtali Contractor Corporation began manufacturing the GEN2 version of the Air Assault helmet, as well as the matching torso armor and shoulder pieces. It was tested in the Buffalo Breaker Yards, and the Cascadian city of Mindoro. Air Assault met all of the UNSC Ordnance Commission strictures for ground combat.[2]

GEN2 Air Assault served as the basis for GEN3 VOLANT-class Mjolnir.[11]

Usage[edit]

GEN2 Air Assault provides functional support across a number of colonies as well as remotely deployed combat units. This set is also primarily used by ONI security personnel on the skyhooks above Earth and Luna.[2] A slightly altered version of the Air Assault GEN2 is a favorite of Spartans tasked with assisting ANVIL Station security personnel.[12]

The helmet is popular among Spartan fireteam leaders due to its communications system, though Napthali continues to market the helmet to the UNSC Army.[13] Offshoots of the Air Assault armor have also been considered for adoption by unaugmented Delta-Six Division operators, but larger-scale adoption of the system has been hindered by its high cost, with each suit costing as much as a dropship.[14]

In-game information[edit]

Halo 3 MCC - GEN2[edit]

In the Halo: The Master Chief Collection version of Halo 3, the Air Assault variant was added as part of Series 5: Anvil content. With the updated Halo 3 armor customization options, the players can now fit their Spartan with Air Assault helmet, chest, shoulders, forearms and legs. The description of the armor pieces are the same for every set. The set is one of twelve armor sets originating from the cancelled Halo Online brought into The Master Chief Collection, originally known as Lander in the cancelled game.

Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta[edit]

In the Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta there was a "DPT" skin which became the "Disrupt" skin in the final game. This skin had descriptions for it as follows:

  • Helmet description: This coating incorporates impregnated metamaterials that mask the AIR ASSAULT armor's signature in both the near-infrared and near-ultraviolet spectrum.
  • Body description: AIR ASSAULT users take advantage of even the smallest tactical advantage to avoid being spotted in transit to the combat zone.

Halo 5: Guardians - GEN2[edit]

The Halo 4 design of Air Assault returned in Halo 5: Guardians as an armor permutation unlockable via the Requisition system. The Air Assault body component consists of the Air Assault chest and legs, with the Ricochet forearms and RG-63 Counter legs. The GEN1-styled Air Assault armor - modelled after the armor design employed by Catherine-B320 in Halo: Reach - returned to Halo 5 with the release of Memories of Reach, rebranded as the Intruder armor.

Trivia[edit]

  • The Air Assault helmet, especially the GEN2 version, closely resembles the helmets worn by Orbital Drop Shock Troopers in Halo 2. The most prominent similarity is the faceplate, which is much less rounded than the version of the ODST helmet seen in post-Halo 2 media.
  • The GEN2 Air Assault chestplate closely resembles that of the MJOLNIR Mark V, the [B] Variant specifically, and the similar Mark IV variant worn by Gray Team.
