'''Materials Group''' is a division of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] that is responsible for researching, developing, and manufacturing technologically advanced matériel. The Materials Group's most important development has been the design of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] and the [[powered exoskeleton]]s which preceded it,<ref name="EVG 118">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 118''</ref><ref name="EVG 119">'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 119''</ref><ref name="EVG 120">'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 120''</ref> as well as several specialized variant models.<ref name="EVG 65">'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 65''</ref><ref name="EVG 66">'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 66''</ref><ref name="EVG 85">'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 85''</ref><ref name="EVG 92">'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 92''</ref><ref name="EVG 152">'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 152''</ref><ref name="EVG 165">'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 165''</ref> | '''Materials Group''' is a division of [[Section Three]] of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]{{Ref/Novel|Novel=SiSto|Chapter=1|Page=5}} posing as a government-contracted technology firm,{{Ref/Book|Book=H4EVG|Page=220}}{{Ref/Book|Book=Enc22|Page=63}} that is responsible for researching, developing, and manufacturing technologically advanced matériel.

In addition to the main MJOLNIR series, Materials Group developed several purpose-specific variants. Though several other variants have been produced, they were designed by private defense contractors, not by Materials Group. | In addition to the main MJOLNIR series, Materials Group developed several purpose-specific variants.
