Template:Armor Infobox

The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/C variant, colloquially known as the Close Quarters Battle (CQB) armor, is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor manufactured by Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme.[1][2][3][4]

GEN1 information

Overview

The CQB variant specializes in the improvement of survivability in close quarters engagements, this was done in the dispersal of kinetic energy, by looking at alternate methods to disperse the kinetic energy versus momentum transferred by a Spartan during combat. In addition the CQB's armor components are designed to optimize joint mobility in close quarters, and have a improved field of view.[1][2][3][5]

Although CQB surpasses CQC in overall integration, the variant's ability to allow ad hoc modifications is limited in comparison.[1][6]

Development history

As early as 2525 developmental Mjolnir permutations utilized physical architecture that would eventually be used for CQB.[7][8] Samuel-034 used such a variant during the Battle of Chi Ceti[9] and Daisy-023 used a similar variant.[10]

When evaluating different opportunities to improve MJOLNIR across an assortment of engagement types, German-based Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme proposed two distinctive variants CQC and CQB with one focus. Using data gathered from the UNSC's campaign on Jericho VII, that focus was to further improve the survivability in close quarter engagements.[1][2][3][4][11][6]

Field-tested at the Special Warfare Center Essen, in Deutschland, and integrating feedback gathered from the Special Warfare Center Seongnam, in Korea, CQB was ultimately launched on the Mark V platform.[1][3] Its advances were eventually incorporated into the Mark VI series.[1][3][4][11]

Usage

The CQB armor was used successfully throughout 2552.[1]

GEN2 information

GEN2 compatibility

As late as 2558, the GEN1 CQB helmet could be requisitioned by Spartans for use with their GEN2 Mjolnir suits.[12]
