The Mobile Powered Assault Armour or MPAA's are the new breed of armour systems that are extremely powerful and technologically advanced exoskeleton designed to enhance the users performance in battle. By the 2600's, many existing MPAA's are quite large with a great deal of intergrated weaponry, making them a easier target than the standard humanoid, however by the 2800's technology had advanced so far that suits were only a few inches thick yet provide a superior armour system.

MPAA's in the 2500's
The Mobile Powered Assault Armour's in the 2500's were quite basic compared to later generations but all had similar features. The HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mobile Mark I Prototype Armour Defence System was a perfect example despite its brief and unproductive lifespan: It was four metres tall and had a blistering array of weaponry. The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armour System line is another example of a MPAA despite being smaller than the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Prototype and not featuring its own intergrated weapon systems, it is still considered a MPAA.

MPAA's in the 2600's
The MPAA's in the 2600's began to take off as the Humans, Sangheili and Jiralhanae on all sides began producing their own versions. Examples range from the low-end Semi-Powered Assault Mark III Armour to the Sangheili Kahn-Class Powered Assault Armour to the Neo-Covenant Tier-45 Mobile Powered Assault Armour. While MPAA's were generally more wide spread and advanced they took a back-seat to during the Doisac War and were mainly used as infantry and vehicle support units.

MPAA's in the 2700's
In the 2700's, MPAA's reached a new level as the Humans introduced the concept to the members of the Federal Republic of Independent States who had since all to now had not considered such an idea. Within twenty years of its introduction, MPAA's were wide spread across the entire of known space providing heavy infantry support and anti-vehicle weaponry.

MPAA's in the 2800's
The MPAA's in the 2800's were considered the epitome of the MPAA's at the time. MPAA's in this generation were only a few inches thick yet some provided insane protection from small-arms fire and even anti-infantry weaponry. This generation of MPAA's also had the choice of using intergrated weaponry as well as additional firearms and they were still allowed to be flexible with an impressive range of movement.
