''[[Halo 3]]'' introduces the new variant of the Pelican, the '''D77H-TCI Pelican''' (The ''H'' stands for ''Heavy'', the ''I'' probably stands for ''Infantry''). Externally, it appears nearly identical to the Pelicans used in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and [[Halo 2]], except for being more angular. Internally, though, the craft has been renovated and it can store equipment in overhead netting. It also mounts an [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun]] at the opening of the troop-bay for suppression fire during insertion/extraction missions. The cockpit has been altered, and instead of the side-by-side positioning of the pilot and co-pilot, the pilot now sits at the fore of the dropship, with the co-pilot behind him/her, and at a higher position, in tandem. | ''[[Halo 3]]'' introduces the new variant of the Pelican, the '''D77H-TCI Pelican''' (The ''H'' stands for ''Heavy'', the ''I'' probably stands for ''Infantry'').

''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' introduces a civilian-variant of the Pelican, operated by the New Mombasa Police Department and differentiated from its military counterpart by a black and white color scheme, "POLICE" replacing the traditional "MARINES" on the external hull, and a noted lack of armament. Under the craft's chin, where a machine gun turret or autocannon would normally be installed, are various interchangeable sensors used by the police for aerial surveillance and crowd control. | ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' introduces a civilian-variant of the Pelican, operated by the New Mombasa Police Department and differentiated from its military counterpart by a black and white color scheme, "POLICE" replacing the traditional "MARINES" on the external hull, and a noted lack of armament.
