The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/J variant, colloquially known as JFO, is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor manufactured by Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme.[1][3]

GEN 1 Overview

Design details

JFO is a Mjolnir variant that improves artillery request communication/coordination by Spartans across the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. Spartans employing JFO are also fielded with systems and programs to protect them.[1]

Development history

JFO was developed by Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme at the Special Warfare Center Essen.[1] It was considered an "ill-favoured" entry into MJOLNIR development, but the JFO helmets were ultimately one of its most successful entries.[2] As late as 2560, the GEN1 JFO could still be requisitioned by Spartans, upgraded to be roughly equivalent to GEN3.[4]

Usage

It was often fielded by single Spartans in reconnaissance, infiltration, and artillery targeting scenarios behind enemy lines.[1] In 2553, the JFO helmet was worn by SPARTAN-III Owen-B096 as part of his mission with Outpost Discovery.[5][6]

In-game information

Halo: Reach - GEN1

"Designed and tested at Beweglichrüstungsysteme this helmet is fully compatible with all armor systems."

The JFO helmet appears in the armory upon reaching the rank of Halo: Reach rank icon Warrant Officer, but is not unlocked until Halo: Reach rank icon Lieutenant Colonel.[3]

The helmet features a large visor, shaped like a shield or a fattened "T", and has two small air intakes on the cheek areas. Overall, the helmet provides significant armor coverage, protecting the majority of the head while maintaining a large field of vision.

In-game, the HUL-I is available only for the JFO helmet. The shoulder pieces are semi-circular arches that jut outwards from the shoulders. They also feature black, two-pronged protrusions that point parallel to the arm, and away from the hands.

Trivia

  • JFO stands for Joint Fires Observer, a United States military designation for troops who coordinate fire support from land-based artillery and naval gun formations, as well as close air support.
  • The visor of the JFO helmet somewhat resembles the faceplate of the Marvel Comics character Iron Man.
