Ushuaia Armory

Ushuaia Armory is a defense development and manufacturing firm that produces matériel for the United Nations Space Command. It is presumably based in Argentina on Earth. The armory likely also had subsidiaries on Reach as well.

Known developments
In 2535, after an unknown development period at the firm's Siófok Firing Range, Ushuaia produced the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/AA variant. This helmet is an improved version of the helmet worn by the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers that was designed for and adopted by the UNSC Army's Airborne division. The helmet was also used by the Spartans, most notably Catherine-B320.

Ushuaia also performed a substantial amount of work on the development of the UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform, particularly the CH252 helmet. Ushuaia may not have been solely responsible for the BDU's development, as Misriah Armory also manufactures the CH252 helmet. However, it is possible that Ushuaia developed the helmet, while Misriah is responsible for the helmet's manufacture.

Trivia
Ushuaia is the capital city of Argentina's Tierra del Fuego province. It is considered the southern-most city in the world.
