===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.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}
The JFO design was engineered with the goal of allowing lone [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]] to have improved communication when deep behind enemy lines, allowing them to better conduct cross-branch artillery request communication/coordination by Spartans across the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. Spartans fielding the JFO suit are typically deployed with regular firearms and equipment, though are usually also outfitted with the latest targeting hardware in systems such as the [[H-165 target locator]] or its [[H-295 target designator|successor]]. Target designators are [[Smart-linking|smart-linked]] to the suit's onboard technology suite, allowing the user to make quick and decisive air strikes in the field.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}
 
The helmet is compatible with the [[UA attachments#Type O5|Type O5]] up-armour module and [[Model 990101-1 FLAMINGO]] hardened uplink.

===Development history===
JFO was developed by [[Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme]] at the [[Special Warfare Center Essen]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} It was considered an "ill-favoured" entry into MJOLNIR development, but the JFO helmets were ultimately one of its most successful entries.{{Ref/Reuse|HI}} As late as [[2560]], the GEN1 JFO helmet could be requisitioned by [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]], upgraded to GEN3 standards.{{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}}

It was often fielded by single Spartans in reconnaissance, infiltration, and artillery targeting scenarios behind enemy lines.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} In [[2553]], the JFO helmet was worn by [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-III]] [[Owen-B096]] as part of his mission with [[Outpost Discovery]].{{Ref/Comic|Halo: Lone Wolf}}{{Ref/Generic|[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]}}
