Active Camouflage technology was later improved and even applied to the MJOLNIR armor system. This camouflage is able to function without ablative panels; the active camouflage is generated by a small device attached to the user's back. This technology has its drawbacks however; all sound is muffled while the active camo is in use, and the more the user moves, the more visible they become.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]'''</ref> | Active Camouflage technology was later improved and even applied to the MJOLNIR armor system.

Much like the SPI armor, [[UNSC Prowler]]s use ablative panels or "active camouflage skin" to conceal themselves from view in addition to masking their heat signatures. This camouflage isn't perfect however, and cannot keep up with a constantly changing background such as a gas giant's atmosphere.<ref name="evo"/> However, more advanced stealth ships were developed, such as an [[Unnamed Stealth Spacecraft]] using a form of cloak "bubble". This technology hasn't been observed in widespread use.<ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''' | Much like the SPI armor, [[UNSC Prowler]]s use ablative panels or "active camouflage skin" to conceal themselves from view in addition to masking their heat signatures.
