Target acquisition system (TAS) is an external helmet attachment compatible with the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor.[1]

OverviewEdit

Design detailsEdit

External target acquisition systems tend to be bulky and complex.[2]

UsageEdit

TAS modules are used for target acquisition.

Known modulesEdit

There are several modules for external target acquisition systems, each with its own distinct physical appearance.

DROCTULFEdit

 
The DROCTULF module on the Zvezda helmet.

Manufactured by Meyer e.V., the DROCTULF module incorporated technologies adjacent to Project THEIA to reduce the bulk and complexity of external target acquisition systems. The DROCTULF module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the ZVEZDA-class Mjolnir helmet.[2]

GUNGNIR MOD 3Edit

 
The GUNGNIR MOD 3 module on the GUNGNIR helmet.

Manufactured by Misriah Armory and based on Project GUNGNIR, the GUNGNIR MOD 3 adds a face shield with an integrated Wyrd III target acquisition package, which would go on to be a defining standard of UNSC fire control systems.[3] The GUNGNIR MOD 3 module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the GUNGNIR-class Mjolnir helmet.[4]

GUNGNIR MOD 6Edit

 
The GUNGNIR MOD 6 module on the Stormfall helmet.

Manufactured by Meyer e.V. and based on Project GUNGNIR, the GUNGNIR MOD 6 adds new weapon interfaces, extended IFF range, and deeper battlenet synchronization among GUNGNIR-equipped Spartans. The GUNGNIR MOD 6 module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the STORMFALL-class Mjolnir helmet.[5]

LANTIFRIDEdit

 
The LANTIFRID module on the AKIS-II GRD helmet.

Manufactured by Watershed Division, the LANTIFRID module is THEIA-compatible. Most of its functionality remains locked and undocumented, and even the highest-ranking ONI officers on the UNSC Infinity lack authority to access its low-level diagnostic functions. The LANTIFRID module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the AKIS-II GRD helmet.[6]

MOTHACIDEdit

 
The MOTHACID module on the Celox helmet.

Manufactured by Watershed Division, the MOTHACID is a codename given by the Xeno-Materials Exploitation Group for a module used to detect, analyze, and identify alien artifacts and signal sources. Spartans have also adapted the instrumentation package to interface with Mjolnir fire control systems. The MOTHACID module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the CELOX-class Mjolnir helmet.[7]

NETMOONEdit

 
The MOTHACID module on the Cavallino helmet.

Manufactured by Watershed Division, the NETMOON module is a targeting array commonly used by snipers for low orbit targeting.[8]

The NETMOON module is compatible with:

ORCUSEdit

 
The ORCUS module on the Rampart helmet.

Manufactured by Chalybs Defense Solutions, the ORCUS module is used by Spartan intelligence units for locating targets. The ORCUS module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the RAMPART-class Mjolnir helmet.[9]

PATTERNWOLFEdit

 
The PATTERNWOLF module on the Shikari helmet.

Manufactured by RKD Group, the second-generation PATTERNWOLF module uses miniaturized and improved version of the information fusion system fitted to the ARGUS helmet. However, Spartan-IV's lack the cognitive flexibility to make use of the PATTERNWOLF for more then a few minutes at a time. The PATTERNWOLF module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the SHIKARI-class Mjolnir helmet.[10]

PATTONEdit

 
The PATTON module on the Artaius helmet.

Manufactured by Materials Group, the PATTON module collects data for the KOBOLD combat drone initiative. The PATTON module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the ARTAIUS-class Mjolnir helmet.[11]
