==GEN1 overview==
==Overview==
===Design details===
===Specifications===
The JFO design was engineered with the goal of allowing lone [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]] to have improved communication when deep behind enemy lines, allowing them to better conduct cross-branch artillery request communication/coordination by Spartans across the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. Spartans fielding the JFO suit are typically deployed with regular firearms and equipment, though are usually also outfitted with the latest targeting hardware in systems such as the [[H-165 target locator]] or its [[H-295 target designator|successor]]. Target designators are [[Smart-linking|smart-linked]] to the suit's onboard technology suite, allowing the user to make quick and decisive air strikes in the field.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}
JFO is a Mjolnir variant that improves artillery request communication/coordination by Spartans across the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. Spartans also using ''JFO'' are also fielded with systems and programs to protect them.<ref name="EVG"/>
 
The helmet is compatible with the [[UA attachments#Type O5|Type O5]] up-armour module and [[Model 990101-1 FLAMINGO]] hardened uplink.


===Development history===
===Development history===
JFO was developed by [[Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme]] at the [[Special Warfare Center Essen]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} It was considered an "ill-favored" entry into MJOLNIR development, but the JFO helmets were ultimately one of its most successful entries.{{Ref/Reuse|HI}} As late as [[2560]], the GEN1 JFO could still be requisitioned by [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]], upgraded to be roughly equivalent to GEN3.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFParallel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/parallel-threads|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Parallel Threads|D=25|M=6|Y=2021}}
JFO was developed by [[Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme]] at the [[Special Warfare Center Essen]].<ref name="EVG"/>


===Usage===
===Usage===
JFO was often fielded by single Spartans in reconnaissance, infiltration, and artillery targeting scenarios behind enemy lines.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} In [[2553]], the JFO helmet was worn by [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-III]] [[Owen-B096]] as part of his mission with [[Outpost Discovery]].{{Ref/Comic|Halo: Lone Wolf}}{{Ref/Generic|[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]}}

The helmet features a large visor, shaped like a shield or a fattened "T", and has two small air intakes on the cheek areas. Overall, the helmet provides significant armor coverage, protecting the majority of the head while maintaining a large field of vision.

*JFO stands for [[wikipedia:Artillery observer#Forward observers in the U.S. Army/U.S. Marine Corps|Joint Fires Observer]], a United States military designation for troops who coordinate fire support from land-based artillery and naval gun formations, as well as [[wikipedia:Close air support|close air support]].

*The visor of the JFO helmet somewhat resembles the faceplate of the [[Marvel Comics]] character [[wikipedia:Iron Man|Iron Man]].
*The shape of the helmet and the large visor also give it something of a resemblance to the helmets worn by [[New Mombasa Police Department|NMPD]] officers.
