==Known developments==
'''Ushuaia Armory''' is a defense development and manufacturing firm that produces matériel for the [[United Nations Space Command]]. It was based on the [[Inner Colonies|Inner]] [[Human colonies|Colony]] [[world]] [[Reach]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG202}}
In [[2535]], after an unknown development period at the firm's [[Siófok Firing Range]], Ushuaia produced the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/AA variant]].<ref name="EVG">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'''</ref> This helmet is an improved version of the helmet worn by the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s that was designed for and adopted by the [[UNSC Army Airborne]]. The helmet was also used by the [[SPARTAN Program|Spartans]], most notably [[Catherine-B320]].


Ushuaia performed a substantial amount of work on the development of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] [[UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform|Battle Dress Uniform]], particularly the [[CH252 helmet]].<ref name="EVG"/> Ushuaia may not have been solely responsible for the BDU's development, as [[Misriah Armory]] also manufactures the CH252 helmet. However, it is possible that Ushuaia developed the helmet, while Misriah is responsible for the helmet's manufacture.<ref>'''[[Halo: Arms Race]]'''</ref>

Ushuaia was also responsible for the development of the [[D96-TCE Albatross]] heavy dropship. The Albatross can transport large quantities of supplies, up to fifty personnel, or several vehicles. The dropship can seemingly also serve as a mobile command post.<ref name="EVG"/>

*[[M35 Cougar]]{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=142}}


The firm also manufactures the [[M9 Main Anti-Aircraft Tank|M9 ''Wolverine'' Main Anti-Aircraft Tank]].<ref name="EVG"/> In [[2535]], [[Insurrectionist]]s bombed the Mars-based factory that produced the Wolverine. This halted further production of the unit, at least temporarily.<ref name="Wolverine"/>

==History==
===Human-Covenant War===
{{Main|Human-Covenant War}}
In [[2535]], the plant responsible for manufacturing the Wolverine was destroyed by [[Insurrectionist]]s on [[Mars]].{{Ref/Note|Id=bombing|In an {{Plain|[http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/strategy/halowars/video/6201267/halo-wars-story-interview interview with Gamespot]}}, ''Halo Wars'' lead writer Graeme Devine claimed that the [[Mars|Martian]] factory responsible for producing the Wolverine was bombed by [[Insurrectionist]]s in [[2535]], halting further production of the vehicle. No other source has reiterated or implied this story, rendering it potentially dubious.}}
 
Ushuaia Armory worked in partnership with [[Misriah Armory]] to create the [[YSS-1000 Sabre]] prototype to compete in the [[Emergency Defense Fighter]] initiative.{{Ref/Reuse|CFDigsite}} Following the end of the Human-Covenant War, they sold the production and design rights for their [[F-23 Falcata]] V/STOL jet to the [[Vestol Corporation]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFFestivities}}
