SCOUT-class Mjolnir, also designated as the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/S variant, is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor that was developed by the Materials Group.[5]

GEN1 overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The Scout armor uses advanced materials to provide stealth properties, while the 'R' variant reduces infrared signature and radiation emissions.[6] In the case of the Mk. V version, the helmet's visor also includes an enhanced optics system.[2]

Development history[edit]

The Scout and Recon projects were run as parallel projects intended to develop a single variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor with stealth capabilities and no impact on endurance; out of the two, the Scout variant relies heavily on highly advanced materials. It was tested in the Office of Naval Intelligence's Beta-5 Division Ordnance Testing Facility at Swanbourne, Perth, in Western Australia.[2][6] The Scout variant was developed for use with the MJOLNIR Mark V Powered Assault Armor and was later upgraded to function with the MJOLNIR Mark VI.[2][7]

After the first wave of GEN2 systems, based on the request of an unnamed VIP, a one-off upgrade to the Mark V version of the suit was created, called VIGILANT-class Mjolnir.[8] As late as 2560, GEN1 Scout could still be requisitioned by Spartans, upgraded to be roughly equivalent to GEN3.[9][10]

Usage[edit]

Spartans who used GEN1 Scout-class armor tend to specialize in infiltration/reconnaissance and are also often exceptional snipers. Two examples of this are Linda-058 and Jun-A266.[2]
