The '''Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor''', colloquially called "'''SPI Armor'''", was an [[armor]] system used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] developed for the [[Spartan-III]]s. Though more advanced than the [[ODST]] Ballistic [[Body Suit]]s, it was far less advanced and less powerful than the [[MJOLNIR Armor]] used by the [[Spartan-II]]s. Its main benefit was that it was drastically cheaper to produce than the MJOLNIR armor. This armor was designed with an emphasis on stealth rather than raw power. It features [[Camouflage Cloak|special photo-reactive panels]] that mimic the surrounding textures, effectively being the UNSC equivalent to the [[Covenant]] [[Active Camouflage]] systems. It has been described as part legionnaire mail, part tactical body armor, and part chameleon by both [[Tom-B292]] and [[Dr. Halsey]].<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] page 16</ref> | The '''Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor''', colloquially called "'''SPI Armor'''", was an [[armor]] system used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] developed for the [[Spartan-III]]s.
