*'''UNSC Air Force variant''' — The version of the Pelican used by the [[UNSC Air Force]] features a few major differences from other variants of the aircraft. First, the cockpit layout resembles that of the newer D77H-TCI model with the co-pilot's station located behind and above the pilot rather than side-by-side.{{Ref/Game|HR|Detail=3D Pelican model}}
*'''[[D77H-TCI Pelican]]''' — A newer and nearly identical model of the regular D77-TC, except for a more angular frame, and it features a tandem pilot-seating configuration.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo Waypoint: Pelican}}
*'''[[D77H-TCI Pelican]]''' — The D77H-TCI Pelican appears nearly identical to the regular D77-TC except for a more angular frame. However, instead of the side-by-side positioning of the pilot and copilot, the pilot sits at the fore of the dropship, with the co-pilot behind him/her and at a higher position, in tandem. The D77H-TCI is capable of sporting missile pods that are integrated directly into the wings rather than the externally mounted pods used by the D77-TC.
*'''[[D77C Pelican]]''' – A civilian variant utilized by the law enforcement agencies on major urban areas.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo Waypoint: Pelican}}
**'''[[D77C Pelican]]''' – The D77C Pelican is a variant of the D77H-TCI that was utilized by the law enforcement agencies on [[Earth]],{{Ref/Reuse|Halo Waypoint: Pelican}} with a specialised model - the [[D77C-NMPD Pelican|D77C-NMPD]] - employed by the [[New Mombasa Police Department]] in [[Kenya]], [[Africa]].{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/related/gallery/nmpd-pelican/a08fd318-4bef-4c32-9741-6d15b5f1180d|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=NMPD Pelican|D=26|M=03|Y=2011|Detail=(defunct, archive [[Archive:Halo Waypoint/2009 to 2014/Universe/Vehicles#NMPD Pelican|here]])}} It is differentiated from its military counterpart by a black and white color scheme, with the word "POLICE" replacing the traditional "MARINES" on the external hull, and a noted lack of armament. Under the craft's chin, where a machine gun turret or autocannon would normally be installed, are various interchangeable sensors used by the police for aerial surveillance and crowd control. An AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun can be mounted in the personnel bay of the D77C-NMPD, similarly to the D77 and D77H models.
**'''[[D77C-NMPD Pelican]]''' – A specialized variant of the D77C and the D77H-TCI itself that was employed by the [[New Mombasa Police Department]] in [[Kenya]], [[Africa]], [[Earth]].{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/related/gallery/nmpd-pelican/a08fd318-4bef-4c32-9741-6d15b5f1180d|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=NMPD Pelican|D=26|M=03|Y=2011|Detail=(defunct, archive [[Archive:Halo Waypoint/2009 to 2014/Universe/Vehicles#NMPD Pelican|here]])}}

*'''[[G77S Pelican]]''' — Building upon the versatile foundation of the venerable D77 airframe, the G77S Pelican is an impressive gunship design cooked up by [[Isabel]] and the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}'s engineers to help turn the tide of battle against [[Banished]] forces on the Ark. The G77S Pelican Gunship boasts a powerful range of armaments, including top-mounted ANVIL missile pods, four payload hardpoints, a forward M370 chaingun turret, and multiple [[M41 Vulcan|12.7mm Vulcan]] cannons.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/the-art-of-war-s|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder: The Art of War(s)|D=19|M=03|Y=2017}}
