Chemring Subsidiary Awarded $200M to Help Maintain Army Counter-Explosive Platform

A Chemring Group subsidiary has been awarded a $200.2M contract modification to provide kits and support services for the U.S. Army's counter explosive hazard system.

The company's sensors and electronic systems business will supply Husky Mounted Detection System kits and spare parts as well as help the branch maintain HMDS and train its users, the Department of Defense said Monday.

The Army initially issued a $92.5M contract in August 2018 to procure the system and support services.

Work under the modification is scheduled to conclude by Aug. 15, 2022.

The HMDS mission equipment package is mounted on Husky mine detection vehicles and designed to locate antitank landmines, improvised explosive devices and mechanisms that can trigger detonation.
