The TACPAD^[1] is a piece of United Nations Space Command equipment. It is a hand-held tactical database system used for analyzing and displaying combat information. It is most often used by NCOs and pull up maps of the local area and display images.^[2] It might be related to a small hand-held computer, or "Data Pad".

A forearm-mounted TACPAD with a dock for the "MC5 Individual Data Net/Terminal" is available as an armor attachment in Halo: Reach. This device is also used by Carter-A259. It is available at the rank of Major and for 50000 cR in the Armory.^[3]

TriviaEdit

• One UNSC Marine stated: "How the foxtrot does it track anything? Whatever—I guess that’s why I carry an MA5 instead of a TACPAD." This comment indicates that TACPADs are typically carried by commissioned and non-commissioned officers, as well as intelligence personnel in charge of tactical planning.
• The TACPAD bears a slight resemblence to the PIP-Boy from the Fallout series.
