With its physical architecture is derived from the Mark IV(b), the Mark V[B] was the first mainline model of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] to incorporate [[energy shielding]] technology.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_012910 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 01.29.10'']</ref> The Mark V[B] is largely similar to the final version of the Mark V. The only major difference between the two is the [B] variant's lack of an accompanying upgrade to the wearer's [[neural interface|neural lace]] enabling the wearer to interface with a [[smart AI]]. This did not come to fruition until [[John-117]] and [[Cortana]] successfully tested the final Mark V on [[2552#August|August 29, 2552]].<ref name="enc"/> | With its physical architecture is derived from the Mark IV(b), the Mark V[B] was the first mainline model of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] to incorporate [[energy shielding]] technology.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_012910 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 01.29.10'']</ref> The Mark V[B] is largely similar to the final version of the Mark V.

Along with the [[SECURITY-class Mjolnir|Security]] and [[ROGUE-class Mjolnir|Rogue]] variants, the Mark V[B] was designed and manufactured by private organizations hired by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] rather than developed by the [[Materials Group]] due to numerous problems with funding. | Along with the [[SECURITY-class Mjolnir|Security]] and [[ROGUE-class Mjolnir|Rogue]] variants, the Mark V[B] was designed and manufactured by private organizations hired by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] rather than developed by the [[Materials Group]] due to numerous problems with funding. | ||
