UNSC projects

This is a list of various projects run by the UNSC and/or UEG.

List
Note that some of these share their names from 343i-era armor variants, as most of those variants don't exist in Daybreak, at least as such.


 * ACHILLES: bio-augmentation trial program involving experimental combat drugs, something like Gamma's. Or cybernetic limbic system control/override implants, possibly mood-altering chemicals, etc.
 * AEGIS: War/post-war era project to reverse-engineer Covenant energy shielding.
 * AQUILA: MJOLNIR Mark V/VI hybrid innovation and development project.
 * ATLAS: UNSC Army heavy infantry armor program that spun out of Project HRUNGNIR. Part of TITAN-II.
 * AMALGAM: Navy project experimenting with neural augmentations and extended neural laces for strikecraft pilots. Possibly connected to the Sabre program.
 * BRAVADO: War-era model for units of independently operating prowler crews & naval special forces, mainly to gather reconnaissance and disrupt Covenant supply lines.
 * BULWARK: Ackerson's / Watershed's off-brand MJOLNIR efforts.
 * CENTURION: Marine Corps cybernetic battlespace awareness enhancement program for field officers on the battalion, company and platoon level. Came with its own helmet (ported as COMMANDO for MJOLNIR)
 * CONSEQUENCE: Proved successful in the Covenant War. Weapons development project of some sort?
 * GUNGNIR: Energy weapon and armor development project; coordinated with S-II, Project MJOLNIR and the Marine Corps. Post-war developments? UNSC Army later adopted much of its supplemental armor designs.
 * HRUNTING: The Navy's early exoskeleton project, later spun off into a side project of MJOLNIR through synergy with YGGDRASIL.
 * HRUNGNIR: Sought to port MJOLNIR-specific technologies such as the force-amplifying piezoelectric system into a form usable by baseline humans. Some cross-pollination with HRUNTING.
 * HUNTER: UNSC Navy warship development program that emphasized a focus on MACs. Originally planned for a fast battleship class paired with a cruiser, but the latter was upgraded after the battleship was cancelled. Led to the creation of the.
 * IVY: War-era bioweapons program to produce a highly-directed and controlled disease which could only infect designated targets.
 * JAVELIN: Aerospace Force augmented commando/pilot program.
 * LOKI: electrowarfare and infiltration-focused Army (Ranger?) project with minor augmentations; came with a non-strength enhancing photoreactive camouflage suit based on SPI tech
 * MJOLNIR: Pioneering power armor system designed for the Spartan-IIs.
 * RENEGADE: Aerospace Force codename for the space fighter developed for JAVELIN. Later provided the foundations for the Sabre program.
 * ROGUE: Next-generation Army Ranger helmet/armor system project.
 * TITAN: Army supersoldier project which saw involvement by Col. Ackerson.
 * VALKYRIE: Army Airborne project to enhance joint resilience, endurance, and sensory input processing. Came with its own helmet/armor pieces; origin of the AA helmet.
 * YGGDRASIL: Initiative to percolate MJOLNIR technologies to the wider UNSC. Overseen/initiated by Stanforth?
 * YOKAI: NAVSPECWAR special operations outfit of SPARTAN-III "washouts" with limited augmentations, some of which were later used in the Hoplite program. (produced the Operator helmet)
 * ZEUS: UNSC plasma weapon development program active since the late 2520s. Produced projectile-based plasma shells and later plasma-based warheads and other weapon payloads.

Other names

 * ANUBIS: later post-war corporate armor system?
 * ARES:
 * ARGONAUT
 * HERMES: something to do with speed
 * PATHFINDER
