If I recall, our helmets aren't designed to have helmet pads stuck right into the helmet itself as they don't provide much "stand off" distance. You know, the distance that your actual head is from the hemlet itself. Thing is, when a bullet or whatever hits that helmet it will dent through, the pads being stuck right to the helmet won't absorb/protect from that deformation and will most likely cause injuries. Imagine a construction helmet without its suspension system and how much it would hurt to have a brick dropped on it. Same concept.
I have an ops core pad set that comes with an inner ring, this has the same stand off as you would expect with the issue helmet suspension but with all the comfort of a pad system.
I also recall seeing a power point or something from CRDC T-Dot that showed Canadian test of our own pad system.
