SOCOM Seeking new helmet

Presolicitation: https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportun...=core&_cview=0

SOCOM is Looking for a New Helmet
Program Manager, Special Operations Forces Survival, Support and Equipment Systems (PM SOF-SSES) has released a pre-solicitation for a “non-commercial, non-developmental Modular Integrated Communication Helmet (MICH) Product Improved Helmet, Type I Ballistic System”.

Requirements include “The Type I MICH-BALLISTIC meets or exceeds all of the current MICH helmet requirements with the added benefit of lighter weight and flexible configuration.” Please note the term “flexible”. This is a level of modularity not available on the legacy MICH and screams FAST helmet from Ops-Core or AIRFRAME helmet from Crye Precision although I am sure BAE will have something to throw at this based on their recent work on the Enhanced Combat Helmet combined with Corona.

The pre-solicitation closes 16 March, 2010 with a full and open solicitation to follow later this year.

Anyone Seen These?

Seeing the face shields on the one prototype in the link above made me remember these. They are made by an Indiana company. I have little to no info on them, did meet one of the "investors / consultants." He is a fellow soldier whose buddy started the company. I have little information on them, but they do look interesting. Curious: would anyone here actually wear a helmet with face/cheek shields?
