The U.K.’s Chemring Group PLC said its U.S. subsidiary, Non-Intrusive Inspection Technology Inc. (NIITEK) was awarded a $76 million delivery order to provide spares for the U.S. Army’s Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS).
The delivery order is issued under the $579 million multi-year HMDS Ground Penetrating Radar indefinite-delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded April 30, 2012. The performance for this contract is through May 2014.
The NIITEK HMDS is a high-performance Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) system on Husky vehicles that provides real-time identification of anti-vehicular landmines and other explosive hazards on main supply routes and in open areas such as minefields.
Chemring Chief Executive Mark Papworth said: “MIITEK’s HMDS delivers a critical capability to U.S. soldiers and Marines and coalition allies in protecting them against the threat of improvised explosive devices. We are pleased that these delivery orders enable us to continue our proven support to the U.S. Army and that NIITEK will continue to deliver critical spares to ensure their fleet is mission ready.”
