MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V

The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V was the second major version of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor series. The Mark V powered exoskeleton was issued to Spartan-II commandos on November 24, 2551. The armor was in service until October 2552, at which point it was replaced by the Mark VI.
== Technical specifications ==
While the Mark V incorporates hundreds of minor technical improvements, it features two major breakthroughs that differentiate it from the Mark IV and significantly improve its wearer's combat effectiveness. The first is the addition of a layer of computer memory superconductor, allowing an artificial intelligence to piggyback into the field with the operator to both provide and gather real-time intelligence. The second is the addition of a self-recharging energy shield system capable of repelling high-velocity objects and energy bursts, plus any other environmental hazards. While impacts on the shield place a substantial drain on the system's power supply, the system's energy regenerates once the user is no longer under fire.
In its final phase the Mark V MJOLNIR battle armor weighs approximately 450 kilograms. The Spartan/MJOLNIR combination is designed to be the most devastating intelligence tool ever created, as the AI can greatly decrease the wearer's reaction times and vastly improve intelligence gathering capacity.
== History ==
=== Trial by fire ===
On November 10, 2551 John-117 was the first Spartan to ever test the MJOLNIR Mark V during a live-fire combat scenario. The stated goal of the test was to ring a bell after traversing through a dangerous obstacle course. This course involved ten fully armed ODSTs, a field of Lotus anti-tank mines, three automated .50 caliber machine guns, a forest of wooden poles, and an unexpected aerial assault from an AV-19 Skyhawk fighter intending to kill him utilizing its 20mm rotary cannons and Scorpion-II ATGMs. This test showed that onboard AI's could exponentially improve the armor's reaction times. This was exemplified by John-117, who was able to deflect a speeding anti-tank missile with a lightning-fast melee strike, a feat of unprecedented speed and reaction time; made possible by John's accelerated neural synthesis with his MJOLNIR by the AI Cortana.

==Upgrades==
Various upgrades were also designed for the standard Mark V to improve the suit's capablities. These upgrades would later be integrated as standard into the MJOLNIR Mark VI.
*Neural induction circuits - Allowed the armor to respond to the wearer's movement at a faster rate.
*Linear accelerator - Doubles the strength of the energy shield system and allows the MJOLNIR to take more hits before failing.
*Image enhancing computer - Improves visual fidelity of the MJOLNIR's heads-up display.
*Improved tracking system - Advanced sensor package, improves accuracy at distances up to a thousand meters.
*Improved motion sensors - Increases sensitivity of the motion tracker sensor node allowing for more accurate readings.
