The Corps also is working around lengthy acquisition delays for its existing domepiece, the Lightweight Helmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As noted in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/2011\/04\/marines-helmet-delays-041111w\/\">this story Marine Corps Times broke last week<\/a>, the problems are twofold, and the latest snag is that BAE Systems has twice failed first-article testing after receiving a $28 million contract to produce up to 120,000 Marine helmets last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s right: BAE Systems is struggling to develop helmets that the Corps first fielded early in the Iraq war. BAE Systems spokeswoman Kelly Golden said the company &#8220;is working closely with the Corps and DLA to ensure it provides the helmets Marines need and deserve.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo: Cpl.
