The combat proven combination of the Husky vehicle with NIITEK’s VISOR™ 2500 Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) forms the US Army’s HMDS and provides unprecedented performance in the automatic detection, recognition, and precision marking of buried explosive hazards.

Based on proven breakthrough GPR technology, HMDS combines advanced real-time ATR algorithms, optional integrated metallic and non-metallic threat detection, automatic precision marking, and user-friendly software, all in a ruggedized, supportable, and affordable package.
