The TACPAD[1] is a piece of United Nations Space Command equipment. It is a hand-held tactical database system used for analyzing and displaying combat information. It is most often used by NCOs in the UNSC military and can, among other functions, pull up maps of the local area and display images.[2] It might be related to civilian data pads.
Halo: Reach
- Main article: MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Tactical
A forearm-mounted TACPAD with a dock for the "MC5 Individual Data Net/Terminal" is available as an armor attachment in Halo: Reach. This device is also used by Carter-A259. It is available for 50,000 cR in the Armory.[3]
Trivia
One UNSC Marine stated, "How the foxtrot does it track anything? Whatever — I guess that’s why I carry an em ay five instead of a TACPAD." This comment indicates that TACPADs are typically carried by commissioned and non-commissioned officers, as well as intelligence personnel in charge of tactical planning.
