The most successful of these efforts is the DECIMATOR armor's sophisticated energy shielding system.{{Ref/Reuse|H5}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFI63}} Elements from DECIMATOR would later go on to be used in [[Project KEYSTONE]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFParallel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/parallel-threads|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Parallel Threads|D=25|M=6|Y=2021}}
