An armored matrix is a reinforced housing used by the UNSC to securely transport an artificial intelligence construct. An armored matrix may be used when a holotank is not available, such as on a battlefield. Though the AI contained within can communicate verbally, there is no hologram emitter for it to manifest a body; hence, the AI can talk, but it cannot see.[1]
Class-C Military AIs serving under ODST commanding officers are carried in armored matrices aboard the officers' SOEIVs. In this manner they may ride into a combat zone intact and be further operated when a firebase or other operational command post is put into place.[1]
