MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/ARGUS is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor. Manufactured by the Office of Naval Intelligence's Watershed Division, the armor incorporates a sophisticated battlenet control node which provides situational and threat awareness in all environments, and hardware-accelerated cyberlink connections for intelligence collection networks.[1]
Development history

By November 2nd 2525 a Mark IV Argus-class Mjolnir helmet was created. When the Spartan-IIs received their first Mjolnir armor, Linda-058 was outfitted with the Argus variant.[2] She was later outfitted with Mark VI Argus-class Mjolnir in October 2552.[3]
