The Scout armor uses advanced materials to provide stealth properties, while the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/R variant|'R' variant]] reduces infrared signature and radiation emissions.{{Ref/Game|Id=H3|Game=H3|What=Armor permutations (Halo 3)|WhatLinkText=Spartan Armor Customization|Detail=Scout Description}} In the case of the Mk. V version, the helmet's visor also includes an enhanced optics system.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}

The Scout and Recon projects were run as parallel projects intended to develop a single variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor with stealth capabilities and no impact on endurance; out of the two, the Scout variant relies heavily on highly advanced materials. It was tested in the Office of Naval Intelligence's [[Beta-5 Division Ordnance Testing Facility]] at [[Swanbourne]], [[Wikipedia:Perth|Perth]], in [[Wikipedia:Western Australia|Western]] [[Australia]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|H3}} The Scout variant was developed for use with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|MJOLNIR Mark V Powered Assault Armor]] and was later upgraded to function with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|MJOLNIR Mark VI]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Armory|Game=HR|What=Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|WhatLinkText=Armory|Detail=Scout Description}}<!--Halo Waypoint states that the Scout and Recon helmets were developed for the Mark VI platform.

The helmet has a groove on it that helps orient shroud placementas well as a wide-scan visor plate. The chest has a spectrum-fracturing canopy emitter designed for extended active camouflage use, and a X900-Boulder emission shroud system (Swan-B5) that masks extraneous radioactive emissions. The reactor pack has a Bravado-120-T5 fitted stabilizer that guards against reactor pings.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} The kit also includes an IR-sig modulator.{{Ref/Game|Id=H4LE|[[Halo 4 Limited Edition]]|Detail=[[Infinity Briefing Packet|''Infinity'' briefing packet]]}}
