CSI to support Husky 2G users outside the US
Critical Solutions International (CSI) is to provide maintenance support for non-US operators of the Husky 2G vehicle-mounted mine detector, via a $35.69 million contract modification from the US Army.
Work will be performed in Charleston, South Carolina, with an estimated completion date of 30 September 2022.
Shephard Defence Insight notes that Husky 2G is used by the US and the militaries of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Latvia, Saudi Arabia, Spain and Turkey.
The Husky 2G (developed by CSI in partnership with DCD Protected Mobility) is a two-man derivative of the single-occupant Mk III Husky and has the same repairability and mobility characteristics, with increased protection and survivability.
The additional operator uses additional sensors, more robust communications packages and an RWS. The Husky 2G is equipped with high-sensitivity low-metal content detectors, ground-penetrating radar, powerful air blowers and a robotic arm.
