The high performance VISOR combat proven ground penetrating radar (GPR) forms the heart of the Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS). The HMDS GPR sensor detects metallic and non-metallic mines, improvised explosive devices (IED), and other buried explosive hazards providing unprecedented performance in the automatic detection, recognition, and precision marking of buried threats. The GPR technology on the HMDS combines advanced real-time Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) algorithms; integrated GPR and electromagnetic interference (EMI) sensors; global positioning system (GPS); recordable missions for after action review functions and analysis; automatic precision marking; and user friendly software. The technology was successfully deployed in combat in Afghanistan with the U.S. and its allies. The U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, Canada, Australia, Spain, Turkey, and Italy, Angola, Cambodia, and other nations around the world use the HMDS to save lives every day--both soldier and civilian. HMDS is ruggedized and logistically supportable package.

REMOTE VISUALIZATION (R-VIS)The Remote Visualization (R-VIS) is an optional capability that allows the HMDS operator to transmit real-time data to a secondary display which is monitored by the threat analyst from the mine protected vehicle. This two-way communication allows both parties to monitor system oversight, analyze threats and determine whether or not the threat requires a physical mark for further evaluation.
