- — Description of the CQC helmet [1]
The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/CQC variant, or Close Quarters Combat armor, is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor, compatible with the Mark IV as well as the Mark V.
Description
Entering service in 2548, the CQC was the predecessor to the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/C variant, or "CQB". However, its design is less rigid, making field upgrades easier. The CQC helmet is standard equipment for missions involving close-quarters combat, including boarding actions and urban operations. The CQC variant also includes an "Assault/CQC" chest carriage configuration, which contains two large storage pouches attached to the armor's chest plate.[2][3]
The helmet has two available upgrades, the UA up-armored variant, and the External Hardened Uplink or "HUL".[3]
Trivia
The Mouthguard and visor shape bear some slight resemblances to the Mark VI MJOLNIR helmet.
