Hardened Uplink



The External Hardened Uplink (HUL) is a device compatible with helmet variants of the Mark V MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor.

Usage
The HUL designed for acquisition of military intelligence, and is required for sensitive operations. It is a favourite of pathfinder units employing the AIR ASSAULT-class Mjolnir helmet.

Variants
The HUL has two several observed variants.

"Camera" variant
The first variant appears to resemble a camera of some sort, and is typically worn on the right side of the helmet.

"Box" variant
The "box" variant resembles a cube, and can be worn on either side of the helmet.

 * Helmets that have both the "Box" and "Camera"-type HULs available in Halo: Reach will refer to the "Camera"-type as the External Command Network Module. The INTRUDER-class MJOLNIR in Halo 5: Guardians also refers to its HUL as a CNM.
