PILOT-class Mjolnir

MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Pilot is a MJOLNIR armor-compatible version of the primary helmet used by UNSC Air Force pilots developed by Chalybs Defense Solutions.

Design details
Intended for engagements in both atmospheric and exoatmospheric conditions, the helmet's primary advantages are its increased field of vision and its aerospace-oriented tactical software suite incorporated into the heads-up display.

Development history
The Pilot helmet entered service in 2541 and was eventually adapted for use with all UNSC armor systems, including Mark IV and eventually Mark V. It looks remarkably similar to the MJOLNIR EVA and SPI helmets. While the similarities with the latter are strictly coincidental, the resemblance to the EVA helmet is a byproduct of Chalybs' collaboration with the Ganymede-based branch of the Materials Group, leading to many similarities with the EVA variant's physical architecture.

Usage
It was used by the select few SPARTAN-II and SPARTAN-III supersoldiers attached to the Air Force as pilots and combat controllers.

In 2558 the Pilot helmet is still being used on posters in locations like the Promesa research center on Andesia.

GEN2 compatibility
As Spartan pilots use flight gear similar to those used prior to their augmentation, the GEN1 Pilot helmet could still be requisitioned by Spartans for use with their GEN2 Mjolnir suits by 2558, alongside the more modern Aviator-class armor suite. By 2558, the Pilot helmet was often fielded with an integral hardened uplink module and features classified updates to the UNSC Air Force-standard machine interlink firmware.

Halo: Reach - Mark V
"Adopted by the UNSC Air Force in 2542, this helmet is compatible with all current armor systems."

The Pilot helmet permutation and its variants are unlockable for use in Halo: Reach.

Halo Online
During the testing releases of Halo Online, an armor set named Pilot was present. The set used the design of the OPERATOR-class Mjolnir, as seen in Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians.

Trivia

 * If the Haunted helmet is worn during the level Noble Actual, one will see the base of a skull in their helmet as they put it on. If it is worn during the final cutscene of Lone Wolf, it will swap models with random helmets in between shots while it lies on the ground.
 * The player's visor color will change the color of the Haunted helmet's skull.
