Z-90 hardlight shield

The Z-90 Photonic Coalescence Emitter/Aegis, more commonly known as the Hardlight Shield, is a Forerunner anti-personnel shielding system. Like other examples of hard light technology, it works by using a photon emitter to fuse light particles into a dissipative barrier.

Trivia
The designation "Aegis" is likely a reference to the Aegis, a shield carried by several divine figures in Greek Mythology. Catherine Halsey listed energy shield shaping as one of the MJOLNIR Mark VII's theoretical features.
