Overview

The H-295 Target Designator is a secure-linked, forward observer module that can perform firing acquisitions on any selected targets, calling in close-fire support. This support can come in a variety of forms depending on the area of operation and the proximity of the target.[2] During the initial stages of the Requiem campaign, it was used to destroy the Forerunner gravity well generators that keep the UNSC Infinity pinned down inside of Requiem.[3] It is used to destroy enemy vehicles, vessels and certain mission-specific objectives using either the Mammoth's dorsal-mounted MAC gun or the weapons of the UNSC Infinity.[4]
