Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance (Ajax 013)

The, also called VISR is a universal Heads Up Display system, employed in both the military and in civilian use. A combination of visor components and HUD electronics, VISR units have been around for centuries, in some form or another.

Design
Most VISR units are a whole unit, consisting of a material face plate, and a HUD component. Often, most VISR units are marketed for one element or another, with off the shelf, commercial components to fill in the gap, though 'whole unit' consisting of both unique visor and HUD components do exist.

Most are plug and play, designed, with varying degrees of effort, to be removed and refitted.

VISR 4.0 Standard
A standardized variant, shipped with MJOLNIR patterns, the Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance (VISR) software manages the Spartan's disparate sensor feeds, battlenet links, and suit diagnostic messages. While simple, the module has few failings. It is manufactured by Hannibal Weapon Systems.

VISR 4.02 Solar
The VISR 4.02 upgrade is tailored specially for improving target acquisition speed and combat identification. The VISR's photochemical tailoring and visual input allows it to react faster to flares. It was designed the Materials Group, but is distributed by Cascade Stronghold Technologies.

VISR 4.03 Cyan
Too cost prohibitive for widespread deployment, VISR 4.03 hardware is protected against electromagnetic interference, shock and, corrosive atmospheres. To this end, its deployed as standard by Pioneer teams and teams operating in hazardous environments. It is manufactured and distributed by Hannibal Weapon Systems

VISR 4.04 Blindside
Frowned upon by UNSC-staff officers, VISR 4.04 sacrifices situational awareness for improved performance in small-unit actions. Specialising in short range tracking and acquisition, its preferred for small teams in urban environments. It was designed and made by Imbrium Machine Complex.

VISR 4.05 Frost
Fitted with an integral climate module and multi-layer insulation the VISR 4.05 assembly can function in extreme temperatures and exotic cryogenics atmospheres. Preferred for combat in Arctic environments, it remains functional even after arms and armour has failed. It is distributed by Lethbridge Industrial

VISR 4.06 Sunspot
Made by Acheron Security, the VISR 4.06 system utilizes a dedicated deconfliction agent function which controls the flow of information competing for the Spartan's attention.

VISR 4.07 Verdant
The VISR 4.07 was designed by Naphtali Contractor Corporation for full vehicle integration in the field. The system features synch-ups optimized for interlinking with vehicles.

VISR 4.08 Midnight
A special pattern designed by the Materials Group, is used for spatial blackouts during slipspace transition. The software and hardware upgrades are designed to improve visibility during these operations, where there is little to no natural light and significant background radiation that can affect the systems.

Most recently, the MG have used this design as the basis for their next-generation battlespace management software, but its complexity is somewhat offsetting for most commanders.

VISR 4.09 Legendary
Another Materials Group special, the 4.09 model was designed for next-gen warfare, with a wide range of special upgrades to the hardware and software. It features enhance functionality, altered reality inputs to improve combat performance and visual acuity, and a wide band of visual identification software allowing even a glance to provide significant insight on a target. It is largely deployed amongst top-tier operators.

VISR Envy
The Envy VISR was developed by extreme sport enthusiasts on Mars. Designed for quick reactions, and harsh environments, its a fast reacting HUD teamed with a visor resistant to the elements, especially the harsh sandstorms of Mars.

VISR Foucault
The Foucault VISR is a unique model with an equally unique electrical system. The visor uses transparent materials that act as the visor are in fact electrical conductors, with an active, but relatively low charge. These are controlled by magnetic systems, and actively regulated. They create a small electrostatic field that repels foreign material from the visor, keeping it clean of rain, mud, dirt, dust, and blood.

VISR Vandal
The Vandal is packaged with a unique software package, designed for heightening targeting acuity. It uses target recognition, 'soft' sensors and visual analysis to attempt to find flaw in enemy defences and highlight weak points, ideal for mid-ranged combat against infantry. The VISR constantly updates the user to find the perfect kill shot or disabling shot.

VISR Clockwork
The Clockwork VISR is a piece of technical art, appreciated as a masterwork of programming and engineering by the handful of AI and human experts who understand the complexity of Mjolnir HUD design.

An ergonomic master piece, the flawless programming of the Clockwork is designed to keep the HUD in a synergistic state, displaying multiple feeds without crowding the user's vision. Admired for its design by experts, it is one of the moat multi-purpose VISR systems on the market, though the high cost matches it.

VISR Ecto
A unique collection of software and sensor systems, the Ecto pattern is designed to track the most elusive sensor readings, including faint electronic signals and exotic stealth systems. The VISR system tracks these using multi-modal sensor modes and hyperspectral tracking.

VISR Gallows
The Gallows was designed for use by forward observation teams operating inside dangerous quarantine zones. Used by operators who venture into the hellscape left by biological outbreaks, including the Flood, the Gallows utilises failsafe charges that destroy the helmet when compromised. The Gallows is also fitted with a software system for biological analysis and tracking.

VISR King
The first King VISR was an enigmatic artifact produced as a one-off by a bored Huragok. Subsequent attempts to copy the design have been met with varying levels of failure.

VISR Autumn
The Autumn VISR if a flawless example of software engineering and ergonomics. Approaching rampancy has inflamed its designer's auteur tendencies, resulting in a baroque design barely understandable even by other AIs.

VISR Connected
Developed by the avionics maintenance team aboard the UNSC Infinity, the Connected VISR's display elements can be replaced with only basic tools and minimal training.

VISR Aureus
Containing dozens of useful functions for unaugmented users, the Aureus VISR is used by many new Spartans before they transition to more specialized HUDs.

VISR Armourer
A game changer for field operations, the Armorer VISR features its own augmented reality maintenance and diagnostic playbook that can walk Spartans through troubleshooting and basic repairs of most UNSC equipment.

VISR Dusk
The first Dusk VISR was created in the resource-strapped final days of the Covenant War. Among its design goals were engineering refinements that drastically reduced the need for rare earths and other strategic metals.

VISR Dauntless
Sangheili sourced high-tier nanolaminates and scanning elements make the Dauntless sensor grid and faceplate outrageously expensive even by Watershed Division standards.

VISR Aurora
The designer of the Aurora VISR claimed it could see the unseen and visualize phenomenon outside of human comprehension.

VISR Expedition
Built and ran through the harshest testing regime offered by the UNSC, the Expedition VISR can occasionally remain intact even if the rest of the helmet is destroyed around it.

VISR Greystone
The Greystone VISR's unsettling advertising campaign featured Spartans standing on lifeless rocks at the edge of long-dead stars, staring into the void.

VISR Remembrance
The protective outer coating of the Remembrance VISR is coated with materials recycled from glassed colonies.

VISR Saturnine
