'''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Pilot''' is a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]]-compatible version of the primary helmet used by [[UNSC Air Force]] pilots developed by [[Chalybs Defense Solutions]].{{Ref/Reuse|evg}}

==GEN1 overview==
===Design details===
Intended for engagements in both atmospheric and exoatmospheric conditions, the helmet's primary advantages are its increased field of vision and its aerospace-oriented tactical software suite incorporated into the [[heads-up display]].{{Ref/Reuse|evg}}

===Development history===
The Pilot helmet entered service in [[2541]] and was eventually adapted for use with all [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] armor systems, including [[Mark IV]] and eventually [[Mark V]]. It looks remarkably similar to the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant|MJOLNIR EVA]] and [[Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor|SPI]] helmets.<ref name="armory">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''' ''- Armory description''</ref> While the similarities with the latter are strictly coincidental, the resemblance to the EVA helmet is a byproduct of Chalybs' collaboration with the [[Ganymede]]-based branch of the [[Materials Group]], leading to many similarities with the EVA variant's physical architecture.{{Ref/Reuse|evg}}
[[File:H5G Pilot Helmet (render) (1).png|thumb|right|A GEN2 compatible Pilot helmet.|200px]]
As [[Spartan Operations|Spartan]] pilots use flight gear similar to those used prior to their augmentation, the GEN1 Pilot helmet could still be requisitioned by Spartans for use with their GEN2 Mjolnir suits by [[2558]],<ref name="H5G1">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''' ''- Armory description''</ref> alongside the more modern [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Aviator|Aviator-class]] armor suite.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 147''</ref> By 2558, the Pilot helmet was often fielded with an integral hardened uplink module and features classified updates to the UNSC Air Force-standard machine interlink firmware.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G1}} 

===Usage===
It was used by the select few [[SPARTAN-II]] and [[SPARTAN-III]] supersoldiers attached to the Air Force as pilots and combat controllers.{{Ref/Reuse|evg}}

In [[2558]] the Pilot helmet is still being used on posters in locations like the [[Promesa]] research center on [[Andesia]].

==Trivia==
{{Linkbox|gallery=yes|gallerypage=Images of MJOLNIR Pilot}}
*If the Haunted helmet is worn during the level ''[[Noble Actual]]'', one will see the base of a skull in their helmet as they put it on.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWPou6zcAk8 '''YouTube:''' ''All Halo reach helmets in the first cutscene'']</ref> If it is worn during the final cutscene of ''[[Lone Wolf]]'', it will swap models with random helmets in between shots while it lies on the ground.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCujYu42vcQ&feature=related '''YouTube:''' ''Halo: Reach, Lone Wolf w/Haunted'']</ref>
*The player's visor color will change the color of the Haunted helmet's skull.
