Project GUNGNIR

Project GUNGNIR was a top-secret program under the supervision of the Office of Naval Intelligence. A supporter of Project SPARTAN and MJOLNIR, Vice Admiral Michael Stanforth may have participated in this program.

Gungnir ("swaying one"), in Norse Mythology, refers to Odin's magical spear, which is a deadly accurate weapon.

Trivia

 * "GUNGNIR" was first mentioned on a large plaque near the outside walkways of the ONI Alpha Site in New Mombasa, Kenya on Earth.
 * It is possible that due to it being mentioned with two SPARTAN-related programs, the "GUNGNIR" project is a new development or group within the SPARTAN ranks.
 * It is possible that Gungnir was the codename for the development of the Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle, considering the weapon's abbreviation: W/A M6 G/GNR. This is also backed up by the fact Gungnir of mythology was an extremely accurate weapon, as is the Spartan Laser.
