The Hayabusa armor's helmet was designed with a defensive and ultraviolet-protective visor. Like all UNSC helmets, the visor is the weakest part. Thus, a small visor was designed to be more difficult to accurately penetrate. As such, the small visor provides for better protection of the wearer as well as better camouflage. The Hayabusa was designed with greater emphasis on heavy lifting and [[extra-vehicular activity]] than the MJOLNIR. It is slightly slower and less dexterous than its MJOLNIR counterpart, though it is nonetheless highly effective and possesses most of the design features of the MJOLNIR Mark VI.<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia (2009)''' ''- Page 93''</ref> | The Hayabusa armor's helmet was designed with a defensive and ultraviolet-protective visor.

The Hayabusa is a powered battle armor system, similar to the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]], except stemming from Project HAYABUSA as opposed to Project MJOLNIR. It was developed by the [[RKD]] group, an Earth-based think tank, in the year [[2536]], fifteen years before the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|MJOLNIR Mark V]] entered production. It was presented to the [[UNSC Ordnance Committee]] as an answer to the self-contained powered armor problem.<ref name="h3"/> | The Hayabusa is a powered battle armor system, similar to the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]], except stemming from Project HAYABUSA as opposed to Project MJOLNIR.
