With the valve on the pipeline firmly open I think you'll find its not a matter of money but a matter od a helmet that is not type certified for general issue. Its still under test.
When it does become type certified the manufacturer will be flooded with orders resulting in the end item being delayed in entering the supply system simply because not enough are available.
Its a viscious circle much simular to the production of the ceramic "chicken plates" for the body armor. The actual body armor garment was available and in issue but lacked the plates to bring it to max strength. When the plates became available they went to the pointy end of the spear first and trickled down to CSS troops.
The way Kerry whines all the time, you'd think our boys were over there in Speed-o's! Of course, he "actually voted for the $87Bn, before I voted against it."
