What is a lot more likely is that Charon Industries will likely use the armor enhancement technology from Maine's helmet to produce an army of Meta-like space pirates.

I also feel that bringing back a defeated enemy would not be as cool as some of you guys think. Even though the Meta was extremely powerful with all of his armor enhancements, his mind was still broken due to the AI fragments. A better enemy for the new saga would be cunning enemies like Felix and Locus who would have access to the same weaponry as the Meta. 1)The armor enhancements would not go in the helmet. In Season 8 we see Simmons installing it into Grif;s back(because Simmons is crouching, but machinima isn't always the best representation of how people would act, but they never showed it with CGI, so that's all we got.

2)The UNSC would remove the armor enhancements from Maine's helmet, or more correctly, the suit(body).

Extra off-topic point: The helmet would serve no purpose other than a prize(since it's going to the trophy room of Malcolm Hargrove) because all the AI and data were deleted in the EMP. No part of the AI would have survived that. K? I talked about FILSS in before already.
