[Halo] How is the Master Chief able to utilise overshield and active camo pickups?

If active camo and overshield pickups Covenant inventions, why is the Master Chief able to utilise them? Surely there would be incompatibility between his armour (UNSC tech) and the pickup (Covenant tech)

If memory serves, the UNSC was pretty quick to study Covenant tech and often in greater detail than the Covenant themselves.

I'd not be surprised if his suit is based on the same technology as the elites' armor. It's an imperfect match, mind you, which is why the upgrades are so short-term.
