Hardened uplink/remote sensor package

The hardened uplink/remote sensor package (HU/RS or HUL-I/RS) is an external helmet attachment, which integrates the Hardened Uplink with a remote sensor into a single attachment, employed by the United Nations Space Command.

Usage
The HU/RS, which combines the hardened uplink with a remote sensor, is an attachment for several UNSC helmets. Although it was previously available only to Beta-5 security teams and select Army rapid-reaction forces, it was also employed by Orbital Drop Shock Troopers during Fall of Reach. The attachment is also a favorite among sniper units employing the GUNGNIR and SCOUT helmets. By 2558, its use was adopted by Spartan-IV personnel employing the Military Police helmet, which also employs an integrated Command Network Module.

Compatibility
The HU/RS is compatible with the following helmets:
 * CH252 helmet
 * CQB
 * GUNGNIR
 * Military Police
 * ODST helmet
 * Scout

Variants
The HU/RS package has two observed variants, both with its own distinct physical appearance.

WILLOW
The PZY-955SSA WILLOW consists of a single attachment on the left or right side of the helmet, and can be employed alongside a Command Network Module or a CBRN module. The model is natively compatible with older UNSC and CMA. By 2560, the Willow is considered antiquated but dependable.

ARGON
The helmets of Mjolnir Mark V Scout and its GEN2 successor, the VIGILANT-class Mjolnir, accept the AN/PZY-6000 ARGON variant of the HU/RS, more visually similar to a pair of head-mounted binoculars. The variant was introduced during the Human-Covenant War, when aerial and orbital sensor platforms had been destroyed during Covenant invasions. This variant was employed by Jun-A266.

Production notes
During the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta, the HU/RS attachment for the Military Police helmet was named the Hardened External Sensor Array-External (HESA-E), and costed 20,000 Credits. It was described as a standard issue attachment for Beta-5 Security units in the Outer Colonies.
