JFO-class Mjolnir

The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/J variant, colloquially known as JFO, is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor manufactured by Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme.

Design details
JFO is a Mjolnir variant that improves artillery request communication/coordination by Spartans across the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. Spartans employing JFO are also fielded with systems and programs to protect them.

Development history
JFO was developed by Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme at the Special Warfare Center Essen. It was considered an "ill-favoured" entry into MJOLNIR development, but the JFO helmets were ultimately one of its most successful entries. As late as 2560, the GEN1 JFO helmet could be requisitioned by Spartans, upgraded to GEN3 standards.

Usage
It was often fielded by single Spartans in reconnaissance, infiltration, and artillery targeting scenarios behind enemy lines. In 2553, the JFO helmet was worn by SPARTAN-III Owen-B096 as part of his mission with Outpost Discovery.

Halo: Reach - GEN1
"Designed and tested at Beweglichrüstungsysteme this helmet is fully compatible with all armor systems."

The JFO helmet appears in the armory upon reaching the rank of, but is not unlocked until.

The helmet features a large visor, shaped like a shield or a fattened "T", and has two small air intakes on the cheek areas. Overall, the helmet provides significant armor coverage, protecting the majority of the head while maintaining a large field of vision.

In-game, the HUL-I is available only for the JFO helmet. The shoulder pieces are semi-circular arches that jut outwards from the shoulders. They also feature black, two-pronged protrusions that point parallel to the arm, and away from the hands.

Halo Infinite - Upgraded GEN1
The Mark V JFO helmet and its attachments are available for multiplayer Spartan armor customization on the Mark V [B] armor core in Halo Infinite. The JFO shoulders are available under the SAP series of shoulder pads.
