Designed for use in route clearance and de-mining operations, the Husky is equipped with technologies to help detect explosives and minimise blast damage.

[1][2] The Husky VMMD can help operators detect land mines, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) using basic sensor equipment, and imaging systems.

In 1997, CSI was directed to produce and deliver production systems under the U.S. Army Interim Vehicle Mounted Mine Detection Program.

[3] The Husky is part of a class of MRAP vehicles developed from South African blast protection designs.

[1] The Husky is designed to break apart in a blast event, allowing energy to transfer to the detachable front and rear modules rather than the critical components of the vehicle or the occupants located in the cab.

Critical components are engineered to break apart predictably, to help prevent catastrophic damage, and enabling users to quickly replace modules on site.

The Husky 2G was designed with added high sensitivity detectors, ground-penetrating radar, video optics suites, and remote weapon stations.
