The Husky (also known as Chubby System) is a mine clearing wheeled protected vehicle designed and manufactured by the South African company DCD Protected Mobility. The Chubby System or Husky is a distinct versatile sensor platform that has been deployed around the world since the 1980’s. This highly sophisticated vehicle, which detects landmines and explosive devices, has evolved to adapt to new technology and demands. The Husky is the first South African armoured vehicle to be type classified by the US Government. 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. When configured for mine/IED detection, a Husky can cover a 3-meter wide swath at 35 km/h, averaging about 200 km per day. |
