— Description of the Operator helmet.

The helmet of the Operator armor.

Operator armor was developed at ONI Ordnance Testing Facility B5D and is used solely by the Office of Naval Intelligence's Beta-5 Asymmetrical Action Group operators. It is compatible with the Mark V MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor.

Two upgrades are available for the helmet. The first, UA/HUL, replaces the standard attachment, which looks similar to night vision goggles (and is present on HAZOP helmet along with its CNM-I), with an Up-Armor plate featuring a Hardened Uplink Module on the left side. The second variant adds a Command Network Module-Improved on the right side of the helmet.

The shoulders are simply armored bands mounted on the user's base shoulder guards, with two string-like attachments descending from the bottom. There is a geometrical pattern emblazoned on the plate as well.

Despite being solely used by the Asymmetrical Action Group, it appears that some components were used by other SPARTANs. Notably, Emile-A239 wore the shoulder piece on his left.

Trivia

• The helmet looks very similar to an updated concept of the MJOLNIR armor drawn by Eddie Smith which is featured in The Art of Halo.
