 In the 26th century technology did not advance equally for every concept previously explored. The most basic technologies (such as the ballistic weaponry and the wheel) had undergone few principal changes, the explanation for this being their proven reliability over centuries of use. The technology worked and so did not require heavy alteration or major changes. Humans however did have other great advancements such as [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]]s that are capable of reaching other star systems, as well as the creation of highly sophisticated [[AI]]s that could serve to fulfill a versatile amount of roles.
-*'''Weapons:''' While still primarily based on projectiles and chemical reactions, human weapons are still more advanced than the weapons of c.2000. They come with a variety of electronic gadgets such as ammo readouts and are significantly more reliable, seldom malfunctioning. They are also generally immune to electro-magnetic pulses. Still there have been some advanced developments such as the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] and it is extensively used on ships and sometimes on vehicles and ground based weapons, although a similar weapon, the rail-gun, was experimented with c.2000. There have been developments in energy weapons such as the Spartan Laser and the pulse lasers used on the ONI Prowlers, although some of this may be based on captured Covenant technology.  Humans may have some understanding of particle beam technology but have utilized it in their weaponry.

-*'''Vehicles:''' Though human vehicles still rely on crude wheeled motion for locomotino, UNSC vehicles are still extremely advanced, incorporating high-strength materials with precision engineering to improve mobility and durability, while often mounting a variety of weapons or equipment to increase their flexibility. [[M12 LRV|Most]] have switched from fossil fuels to hydrogen-fuel cell engines, or at the very least use [[Jotun|hybrid-electric engines]] for enhanced fuel efficiency.

 *'''Air Vehicles:''' Most UNSC aircraft are designed with Vertical-Takeoff-Vertical-Landing capabilities, using adjustable jet engines for lift and thrust. It is possible that [[D77H-TCI Pelican|some]] incorporate [[Wikipedia:Lifting Body|Lifting Body]] principles.
