The '''Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor''', Or more simply called "'''SPI Armor'''", is an [[armor]] system used by the [[United Nations Space Command]], that was developed for the [[Spartan-III]]s. Though more advanced than the [[ODST]] [[ODST Battle Armor|ballistic body armor]], 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 featured [[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''', Or more simply called "'''SPI Armor'''", is an [[armor]] system used by the [[United Nations Space Command]], that was developed for the [[Spartan-III]]s.
