'''Jetpacks''', '''thruster packs''', '''jump packs''' and '''jump-jets''', are personal propulsion device. Jetpacks give individuals limited flight capabilities, both inside and outside of gravity-intensive environments. Jetpacks are used by various species, including [[human]]s, [[Sangheili]], [[Kig-Yar]], [[Jiralhanae]], and occasionally [[Unggoy]].{{Ref/Book|Id=ENC354|Enc11|Page=354}}
==Background==
===Human===
[[File:DeliverHope - ThomJetpack.png|thumb|250px|[[Thom-A293]] equipped with a jump-jet.]]
As part of their standard training, all personnel of the [[UNSC]]'s [[UNSC Special Forces#Naval Special Warfare Command|Naval Special Weapons]] and [[UNSC Special Forces#Unified Special Warfare Command|Special Warfare Command]] are required to learn how to operate with jetpacks.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC354}} Likewise, all [[UNSC Navy]] and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] personnel are trained to become familiarized with jetpacks in [[Wikipedia:Micro-g environment|microgravity]] environments. However, only [[Spartan]] supersoldiers and certain [[UNSC Special Forces]] units—such as the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] or operatives of [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]]'s [[Delta-6 Division]]—are trained to use jetpacks in an atmosphere. This training is often referred to as "jump pack training". Safety considerations are considered very important during jetpack training, especially for non-[[Biological augmentation|augmented]] personnel; without the encumbered of [[armor]] weighing half of a ton, some users can easily miscalculate the height and speed they are able to attain.{{Ref/Site|Id=universe|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/tech/jetpack|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Universe, Tech|Page=UNSC Jet Pack|D=27|M=10|Y=2015|LocalArchive=Archive:Halo_Waypoint/2014_to_2020/Universe/Tech#UNSC_Jet_Pack}} The UNSC has developed [[jump jet safety restraints]] and gravity mitigation harness linkages to be used with certain jetpack models.{{Ref/Game|HR|Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|Armory}} Thrusterpacks are usually not well protected and the worn by [[James-005]] during the [[Fall of Reach]] exploded when hit with projectiles from a [[Needler]], causing him to tumble into deep space and subsequently lose contact.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page ??''</ref>

Jetpacks are often used by specialized units, such as the ODSTs' [[Bullfrogs]].{{Ref/Level|HR|Exodus}} The UNSC commonly uses jetpacks for [[extra-vehicular activity]] operations, such as ship repair by specialized technicians and welders.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 90'' (2003 edition); ''page 336'' (2010 edition)</ref> The new versions of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|second generation]] of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] used by the [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IVs]] features an integrated set of thrusters, but jetpacks are still used to give the Spartans full maneuvering capabilities. [[Lethbridge Industrial]]'s [[Series 12 jetpack|Series 12 SOLA jetpack]] is the standard jetpack unit following the [[Human-Covenant War]], featuring integrated fly-by-light controls.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
===Covenant===
The [[Covenant]] equipped specialized infantry units with jetpacks to aid them in combat. [[Sangheili Ranger|Sangheili]] and [[Kig-Yar Ranger]]s of the Covenant [[Fleet Security]] division were normally equipped with jetpacks to allow them to carry out extra-vehicular activity missions and other operations that required extensive vertical mobility.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC354}} The [[jump pack]]s used by [[Jiralhanae Jumper]]s were not capable of true flight, although they allowed its users to propel themselves to great distances.{{Ref/Book|Id=HE145|Enc09|Page=145}} The [[Unggoy Ranger]]s of [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|reformed Covenant faction]] were deployed with limited thruster packs seemingly capable of only short bursts.{{Ref/Game|H4|Sangheili Rangers}} [[Floatfighting]] referees were equipped with jetpacks to help them navigate around the [[Combat Section]] of the [[Ussans|Ussan]] [[The Refuge|Refuge]].{{Ref/Novel|BC|Chapter=21}}
