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

Overview

Design details

External target acquisition systems tend to be bulky and complex.[1]

Usage

TAS modules are used for target acquisition.

Known modules

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

DROCTULF

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.[1]

GUNGNIR MOD 6

Manufactured by Hannibal Weapon Systems 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.[1]

LANTIFRID

Manufactured by Watershed Division, the LANTIFRID module is THEIA-compatible. The LANTIFRID module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the AKIS-II GRD helmet.[1]

MOTHACID

Manufactured by Watershed Division, the MOTHACID module is used to detect, analyze, and identify alien artifacts and signal sources. Though 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.[1]

The Rampart helmet attachment from Halo Infinite

ORCUS

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.[1]

PATTERNWOLF

Manufactured by RKD Group, the PATTERNWOLF module uses miniaturized and improved version of the information fusion system fitted to the ARGUS helmet. Though 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.[1]

Menu icon for PATTON helmet attachment

PATTON

Manufactured by Materials Group, the PATTON module collects data for KOBOLD combat drones. The PATTON module has been observed to be compatible exclusively with the ARTAIUS-class Mjolnir helmet.[1]
