The move is expected to enable foreign military sales (FMS) customers to obtain protected payloads, spare parts, as well as training support for Husky 2G C-IED vehicle system.
The Husky 2G is a mine detection vehicle, which uses radar and sensor systems for countermine operations and non-conventional explosive detection missions.
Over the extended period, the contact is expected to generate sales of around $35.6m.
Under the $132m base contract, CSI delivered 41 Husky 2G vehicle systems with associated protected payloads to include 360° cameras, Interrogation Arms, Ground Penetrating Radar, Self-Defense Remote Weapon Stations (SDRWS) and RPG Nets.

Under the US-backed Building Partner Capacity (BPC) initiatives, Husky 2G vehicles with protected payloads were also delivered to Ukraine and Iraq as a part of the Global Train and Equip (GT&E) and Counter-ISIS Train and Equip Fund (CTEF) programmes.
AirBoss Defense Group CEO Patrick Callahan said: “Our company is incredibly proud of all that we have accomplished executing on the Husky long-term contract over the last three years.
“This extension is a testament to the US Government’s commitment to supporting our international customers with the most advanced route clearance package available.
“International demand for adaptive route clearance and C-IED capabilities continues to grow. This contract extension allows for a streamlined acquisition process for ADG to continue providing solutions to our customers’ global needs.”
Initial demand to support follow-on requirements, as well as new capability requirements are planned for next year.
The contract work will be carried out at ADG’s Charleston, South Carolina, location, while the two-year extension will end in September 2022.
