The ''D77C-NMPD'' is a variant of the D77H-TCI that was utilized by the [[New Mombasa Police Department]] in [[Kenya]], [[Africa]], on [[Earth]].<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us#/intel/theuniverse/tech/gallery/nmpd-pelican/a08fd318-4bef-4c32-9741-6d15b5f1180d?filter=all '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''D77C-NMPD Pelican'']</ref> It was differentiated from its military counterpart by a black and white color scheme, with the word "POLICE" replacing the traditional "MARINES" on the external hull, and a noted lack of armament. Under the craft's chin, where a machine gun turret or autocannon would normally be installed, were various interchangeable sensors used by the police for aerial surveillance and crowd control. An AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun was typically mounted in the personnel bay of the D77C-NMPD, similarly to the D77 and D77H models.

===Unidentified UNSC Army Variant===

Though the [[UNSC Army]] uses the D77-TC Pelican like the Marines and Navy, it features a few major differences from other variants of the aircraft. First the cockpit layout resembles the newer D77H-TCI Pelicans with the co-pilots station located behind and above the pilot rather than side by side as seen in the Marine Corps version of the D77-TC. Also most Army Pelicans have chin-mounted [[M638 Autocannon|20mm Autocannons]] rather than 40mm or 70mm weapons mounted on Marine Corp Pelicans. Another difference seen in Army Pelicans is that the Troop bay is not separated from the troop bay, instead the troop bay and cockpit form a larger interior space the Marine or Navy Pelicans.
