Mjolnir Mark V is a set of battle armor designed for use by military personnel but because of the suit's momentum a normal person would be crushed by the lightning fast movement. The suit was then designated for the Spartan-II project.  Each suit has an inner layer of self molding gel surrounded by an outer layer of armor covered by shields adapted from [[Covenant]] technology. The suits are designed to be compatible with all SPARTAN enhancements, including a neural interface to control the suit and provide increased strength and dexterity. MJOLNIR is also capable of housing an AI in its gel layer, connecting to the soldier via the neural interface. Only [[Spartan]]s are capable of wearing the suit. Because of the neural connection between the human and the suit, the user must possess certain attributes, such as enhanced strength, improved reflexes, mental conditioning and strengthened bone structure in order to be in control and not break your bones. If one does not posses these attributes the suit will respond to the user's unconditioned mind and violently spasm, causing much physical damage.
The Mark IV Assault Armor was replaced by the newer Mark V several weeks prior to the Covenant assault on Reach in 2552. The Mark V was the realization of Dr. Halsey's vision. It has hundreds of minor technical improvements over the Mark IV as well as two major modifications.


MJOLNIR V contains one miniature fusion core (about the size of a normal human forearm) as its main source of power and is the first suit to have integrated rechargable shield system. The shell of the suit is a multilayer alloy of remarkable strength. It has a refractive coating which has a limited ability to disperse energy weapon fire. Each suit also has a gel-filled layer to regulate body temperature. It can also reactively change density. Against the skin of the operator, there is a moisture-absorbing cloth suit, biomonitors that constantly adjust the suit's temperature and fit, and automatic Biofoam injectors. The armor's inner structure is composed of reactive metal liquid crystal. It is anomorphous, yet fractally scales and amplifies force, doubling the wearer's strength. It also enhances the reaction speed of a normal human by a factor of five. Featuring a [[Heads-Up Display]] in its integrated helmet, the operator can visualize the terrain from a different perspective or check the amount of ammunition left in their magazine.
The first is that it is powered by a slightly larger fusion pack than the Mark IV. This is due to the fact that the Mark V has an integrated dynamic, self-recharging, sophisticated energy shielding system, built upon captured Covenant technology (similar to those used by Elites, but designed from captured Jackal energy shields) that repels mass objects and energy bursts. While impacts on the shield place a substantial drain on the system's power supply, system energy regenerates quickly once the SPARTAN-II moves away from the barrage.
 
The difference in the Elite's shields and the human Mark V and Mark VI's is that the Elite's has a blue tint to it whereas the Mark V version has a yellowish cast. The shields can take close to the same amount of damage before failing, leaving the user unprotected.
 
The second advancement is the addition of a weave of memory-processor super-conducting material, the same material as an AI's core. This gives the suit nearly the same capacity as a ship-borne AI system. This, along with an upgrade to the standard issue neural implant, allows an AI to inhabit the suit of armor and the mind of the Spartan wearing it, greatly enhancing the interface between the suit and the wearer as well as the obvious benefits of having the incredible information processing power of an AI, which is intended to assist the Spartan in real-time by monitoring communication channels, computer relays, and friendly combat updates.
 
The lethality of this system was demonstrated by SPARTAN-117, also known as "John" or "John-117", when he and the AI Cortana successfully fought their way across a planet-like, artificial ring world called Halo.
