The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/GEN2 is a program-wide overhaul of MJOLNIR developed for the [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IVs]]. The GEN2 suit is lighter than the previous iterations. It is equipped with new ''ad hoc'' modification systems which gives the armor the ability to use tactical packages, support upgrades, and armor abilities. The GEN2 is produced by half a dozen manufacturers, both within the military and among private contractors.<ref name="O+A"/><ref name="Gameplay"/>

Decades before the development of the Mark VII, the seventh generation was proposed as a theoretical upgrade to the MJOLNIR system. Dr. Halsey outlined what features and technology would be included in her [[Dr. Halsey's personal journal|personal journal]]. It would appear to be the last planned phase of the MJOLNIR project. ~~The~~ Mark VII would have utilized a power system that made use of a combination of plasma and fusion technology, integrated atmospheric insertion capabilities, [[slipstream space|slipspace]] de-insertion capability, active AI transfer protocols, and limited shaping of energy ~~shield~~.

Dr. Halsey outlined what features and technology would be included in her [[Dr. Halsey's personal journal|personal journal]]. It would appear to be the last planned phase of the MJOLNIR project. This hypothetical Mark VII would have utilized a power system that made use of a combination of plasma and fusion technology, integrated atmospheric insertion capabilities, [[slipstream space|slipspace]] de-insertion capability, active AI transfer protocols, and limited shaping of energy shields, including the ability to form "partial overlaps, airfoils, etc."<ref name="journal2"/>

"Atmospheric insertion" would allow a Spartan to free-fall from space without a re-entry vehicle such as the [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIV]], but would most likely require a drag chute or parachute. "Slipspace de-insertion capability" means that a Spartan would be able to exit a vessel travelling in slipspace and re-enter normal space, similar to the [[Long Range Stealth Orbital Insertion Pod]]. Halsey described "limited shaping of the energy shield" as the ability to form "partial overlaps, airfoils, etc."<ref name="journal2"/>
