Looks like the Marines are putting their money behind a the 7.62mm resistant helmet. We heard about SOCOM’s MICH Enhanced program back in December, but now it looks like the SYSCOM, PEO Soldier and Natick are all in the market for a new helmet. According to Marine Corps Times reporter Dan Lamothe’s story, the Marines will likely get an upgraded shell without addressing the unpopular pad system.
