The Assault Pack was developed by Ameria to carry out long distance initial strikes against targets, with a single mobile suit. To improve its long range shooting, which had previously relied on predicting the target's behavior, the Assault Pack applies key technologies such the Photon Eye AI and advanced image processing to significantly improve the accuracy of the optical sights. Due to the large array of weaponry, the Assault Pack is extremely heavy, and so a large booster was added to enable higher thrust.
The Assault Pack was also originally designed for hit-and-run tactics against large enemy ships. As such, the Assault Pack's armaments are considered overkill for mobile suit combat, as the Large Beam Cannons and Large Beam Sabers can easily destroy most mobile suits. High power thrusters were also added to the legs to increase mobility and assist in the hit-and-run tactics of the Assault Pack. Despite its armored appearance, the Assault Pack does not have high defensive capabilities.
