The S-1 reconnaissance PPE/BDU is a specialized [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] variant of the ODST armor.<ref name="evg45">'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 45''</ref> The armor is only issued to ONI reconnaissance agents for high risk operations. The undersuit of the armor, which is superficially similar to the standard ODST armor, is designated as the S1/ONI field fatigues.{{Ref/Reuse|evg45}} However, the chest plate is replaced with a specialized one, to provide stealth capabilities with little or no loss of endurance, specifically by reducing its IR signature and reflective surfaces. The torso part of the armor also varies from the standard version, having a green, translucent orb in the center. There are no shoulder pauldrons issued with this variant, which allows more freedom of arm movement. This variant also uses a version of the [[RECON-class Mjolnir|Recon]] helmet. | The S-1 reconnaissance PPE/BDU is a specialized [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] variant of the ODST armor.<ref name="evg45">'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 45''</ref> The armor is only issued to ONI reconnaissance agents for high risk operations.

The space-assault variant of ODST armor is vacuum-sealed for use in [[extra-vehicular activity|extra-vehicluar]] operations in space, such as [[boarding]] actions. It is also used for operations in environments with thin atmospheres.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS7|HSS|Chapter=7}} The armor is shielded against the effects of [[electromagnetic pulse]]s, such as those produced by [[nuclear weapon]]s.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS15|HSS|Chapter=15}} This armor variant was notably used by the [[21st Space Assault Battalion]], a battalion of veteran ODSTs specially trained for combat in zero-gravity environments.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS5|HSS|Chapter=5}} | |||
