A SPARTAN-IV wearing an unidentified type of powered armor.

The SPARTAN-IV Program is the fourth iteration of the SPARTAN supersoldier program. It was conceived by Admiral Margaret Parangosky, the Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence. The SPARTAN-IV Program was originally to be headed by SPARTAN-III lead Colonel James Ackerson, with SPARTAN-II project lead Dr. Catherine Halsey to be reassigned as Ackerson's subordinate.[1] Though Ackerson was killed following the Battle of Mare Erythraeum, ONI continued the program without him.[2]

Like the original ORION Project, the SPARTAN-IV Program would utilize only consenting adult volunteers.[3] The remaining SPARTAN-IIIs were offered to be integrated into the SPARTAN-IV Program.[4] At least some SPARTAN-IVs were active by 2553. Some of them were assigned to the UNSC Infinity before it was launched.[2]

Gameplay

SPARTAN-IV supersoldiers will be featured in Halo 4 as customizable multiplayer characters. Unlike in previous games, there will be an in-universe explanation for why SPARTAN-IVs are fighting one another.[5][6][7]

We can guess that two of the armor permutations we will see will be Master Chief's new helmet and the GRD helmet.
