Target acquisition system
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Target acquisition system (TAS) is an external helmet attachment compatible with the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor.[1]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
External target acquisition systems tend to be bulky and complex.[2]
Usage[edit]
TAS modules are used for target acquisition.
Known modules[edit]
There are several modules for external target acquisition systems, each with its own distinct physical appearance.
DROCTULF[edit]
Manufactured by Meyer e.V., the DROCTULF module incorporated technologies adjacent to Project THEIA to reduce the bulk and complexity of external target acquisition systems. The DROCTULF module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the ZVEZDA-class Mjolnir helmet.[2]
FES/BRONTES[edit]
The FES/BRONTES module presumably comes in two forms: a variant manufactured by the United Nations Space Command and a variant recreated by the crew of the UNSC Spirit of Fire while on Installation 00.[1][3][Note 1] The FES/BRONTES module build by the Spirit of Fire is a field-expedient combination of spare parts, ONI's "BRONTES" firmware, and reused up-links designed by the Smart AI Isabel, providing the equipped Spartans on the Lesser Ark with a direct connection to the ship's targeting array.[4]
The FES/BRONTES module is compatible with:
GUNGNIR MOD 3[edit]
Manufactured by Misriah Armory and based on Project GUNGNIR, the GUNGNIR MOD 3 adds a face shield with an integrated Wyrd III target acquisition package, which would go on to be a defining standard of UNSC fire control systems.[5] The GUNGNIR MOD 3 module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the GUNGNIR-class Mjolnir helmet.[6]
GUNGNIR MOD 6[edit]
Manufactured by Meyer e.V. and based on Project GUNGNIR, the GUNGNIR MOD 6 adds new weapon interfaces, extended IFF range, and deeper battlenet synchronization among GUNGNIR-equipped Spartans. The GUNGNIR MOD 6 module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the STORMFALL-class Mjolnir helmet.[7]
HYAS[edit]
Manufactured by Emerson Tactical Systems, the HYAS module features a cheaper and updated version of the Wyrd III hardware featured on both GEN1 and GEN2 versions of the GUNGNIR-class Mjolnir. The HYAS module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with Emerson's model of the Military Police helmet.[8]
LANTIFRID[edit]
Manufactured by Watershed Division, the LANTIFRID module is THEIA-compatible. Most of its functionality remains locked and undocumented, and even the highest-ranking ONI officers on the UNSC Infinity lack authority to access its low-level diagnostic functions. The LANTIFRID module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the AKIS-II GRD helmet.[9]
