A '''jetpack''', also known as a '''jump pack''' or '''jump-jet''', is a personal propulsion device. Jetpacks give individuals limited flight capabilities, both inside and outside of gravity-intensive environments. Jetpacks are used by various species, including [[human]]s, [[Sangheili]], [[Kig-Yar]], [[Jiralhanae]], and occasionally [[Unggoy]].<ref name="ENC354">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 354'' (2011 edition)</ref><ref name="H4 Interactive Guide">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide '''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''']</ref>

==Background==

===Human===

As part of their standard training, all personnel of the [[UNSC]]'s [[UNSC Special Forces#Naval Special Warfare Command|Naval Special Weapons]] and [[UNSC Special Forces#Unified Special Warfare Command|Special Warfare Command]] are required to learn how to operate with jetpacks.<ref name="ENC354"/> Likewise, all [[UNSC Navy]] and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] personnel are trained to become familiarized with jetpacks in [[Wikipedia:Micro-g environment|microgravity]] environments. However, only [[Spartan]] supersoldiers and certain [[UNSC Special Forces]] units—such as the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] or operatives of [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]]'s [[Delta-6 Division]]—are trained to use jetpacks in an atmosphere. This training is often referred to as "jump pack training". Safety considerations are considered very important during jetpack training, especially for non-[[Biological augmentation|augmented]] personnel; without the encumbered of [[armor]] weighing half of a ton, some users can easily miscalculate the height and speed they are able to attain.<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/tech/jetpack '''Halo Waypoint''': ''UNSC Jet Pack'']</ref> The UNSC has developed [[jump jet safety restraints]] and gravity mitigation harness linkages to be used with certain jetpack models.<ref name="H4 Interactive Guide"/><ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''Armory''</ref>
