Ackerson headed several high-profile projects at ONI. Because his projects were often competing with [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]]'s projects for funds, he had a long-standing rivalry with Halsey and her [[Spartan]]s. He was also a part of the [[UNSC Security Committee]] and Special Weapons Development at [[HIGHCOM]]. He had a private AI named [[Araquiel]], whom he tasked with spying on Dr. Halsey.
