===Mark I===

The SPI Armor Mark I was used by the SPARTAN-IIIs of [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company|Alpha Company]]. It featured hardened plates and photo-reactive panels. Though advanced compared to standard UNSC infantry armor, it could only take a few glancing blows before failing.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 14''</ref> It featured full body armor with an enclosed helmet and [[heads-up display]]~~, and a supply of breathable atmosphere; though only enough for [[List of "seven" references in Halo|seven]] minutes,{{Citation needed}} compared to the MJOLNIR armor's oxygen supply of ninety minutes~~. It was also equipped with a cushioning layer of liquid nanocrystals that provided more ballistic protection than three centimeters of [[wikipedia:Kevlar|Kevlar]] diamond weave, without the bulk. The featured photo-reactive panels gave the SPARTANs of Alpha Company a rough equivalent to active camouflage. The camouflage patterns, however, shifted irregularly and imperfectly, which made the photo-reactive panels inferior compared to the Covenant's active camouflage technologies.

===Mark II===

Line 20:

*The armor is easier to transport, because it is not as bulky or as heavy as the MJOLNIR armor.

*The armor has an efficient cooling system and is significantly difficult to detect even with thermal scanners.

*The faceplate has an automatic 5x zoom ability.<ref>'''~~''[[~~Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''''', page 19</ref>

==Disadvantages==

Line 28:

*It is made of a less durable, less dense alloy than MJOLNIR armor: [[Kelly-087]] dented [[Holly-G003]]'s chest plate with her fist when first encountering the SPARTAN-IIIs.

*The SPI armor is not waterproof or airtight, unlike MJOLNIR armor.

*The SPI armor has an air supply that will last only seven minutes, while the MJOLNIR has an air supply which can sustain a wearer for ninety minutes.

*The SPI armor cannot be used for long periods of time without the cooling system failing.

*It lacks the ability to support an onboard [[Artificial Intelligence|artificial intelligence construct]], unlike the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V]], [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI]], and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Black|Black]] models of the MJOLNIR armor.
