Blast Survivable. Overpass Capable. Field Repairable.
With over 500 vehicles deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan, the
Husky has re-defined route clearance in order to defeat the number one
threat to civilians and coalition forces – the IED.
The Husky MK III VMMD is a single occupant mine-resistant landmine
and IED detection vehicle. Combat proven around the world since the
early 1980′s, the Husky is a unique landmine and IED detection vehicle
that is blast survivable, overpass capable, and field repairable.
Suitable for use in both rural and urban environments, the Husky
facilitates fast and efficient route clearance by creating safe passage
for military convoys and civilian vehicles.
Blast survivable
Husky’s in service worldwide have been collectively subjected to more
than 6,500 landmine and IED strikes with minimal operator casualties.
This ability to successfully execute dangerous route-clearing missions
and return to base safely has generated the hard earned loyalty and
confidence of countless Husky operators.
Operator survivability is achieved through the Husky’s V-shaped hull
and ability to shed secondary components in a predictable fashion –
taken together, these two design features shield the driver from the
worst impact of an IED blast.
Overpass capable & field repairable
One of the most unique aspects of the Husky is its ability to pass over
pressure fused anti-vehicle landmines without detonating them. Vehicle
components have been engineered in a unique modular configuration so
that in the event of an IED detonation, they will break apart in a
predictable fashion. This facilitates fast in-field repairs, decreasing
vehicle downtime and increasing system durability.
