Enhanced Capabilities That Saves Lives.
This contract, with an estimated value of $132 million, provides an enduring
mechanism for both U.S. and international foreign military sales (FMS) customers
to purchase C-IED vehicles, equipment, spare parts, and training at pre-
negotiated commercial prices. This opportunity also enables a rapid response to
the growing international demand for proven route clearance and C-IED
capabilities provided by CSI and its industry partners.
Patrick Callahan, CEO of Critical Solutions International said, "Our company is
proud to serve as the leader in route clearance and C-IED solutions for both the
U.S. Department of Defense and our international partners. Through this
contract, the Husky 2G vehicle will continue to provide unparalleled route
clearance capabilities to U.S allies and protect lives around the world. I thank
our partner companies for their commitment to innovation and to providing the
most advanced route clearance package available today."
U.S. Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC, 2nd District) said, "Critical Solutions
International is a global leader in route clearance solutions, so it is only
fitting that they have been awarded this contract." Rep. Wilson serves on the
House Armed Services Committee while chairing the Readiness Subcommittee and is
a member of the Emerging Threats & Capabilities Subcommittee. "When visiting
CSI, I have seen firsthand their dedication to producing quality products that
support our service members and allies overseas, protecting them from improvised
explosive devices."
The Husky Long-Term Contract includes the latest Husky 2G configuration
featuring an innovative electrical architecture (J1939 CAN bus). In addition to
reducing weight and streamlining troubleshooting procedures, the digital wiring
harness enables forward compatibility with CSI's RC-PACK autonomous applique
system as well as future advanced sensors.
As international demand for adaptive route clearance and C-IED capabilities
continues to grow, this contract streamlines the acquisition process and
provides a mechanism for CSI to quickly satisfy urgent global needs. Foreign
customers have already placed delivery orders against this contract, with
twenty-one (21) Husky 2G vehicles currently committed to Egypt, Saudi Arabia,
Jordan, and Latvia.
An additional twenty (20) vehicles have been ordered through a U.S. Department
of State funding source known as the Special Defense Acquisition Fund (SDAF) in
anticipation of equipment need by future Husky 2G customers with urgent
requirements. In addition to allied national funds, various U.S. Department of
Defense and Department of State funding sources are now available to purchase
CSI clearance products and training including foreign military financing (FMF)
and Iraq Train and Equip Fund (ITEF) allocations.
CSI attributes their success in delivering urgent route clearance capabilities
worldwide to the company's diverse network of unique technology partners.
Working closely with DCD Protected Mobility, Chemring Sensors and Electronic
Systems, FASCAN International, Denel Mechatronics, TORC Robotics, and QinetiQ
North America, CSI provides a comprehensive equipment solution through this
single contract. The coordinated application of these protection, detection,
interrogation, and security systems creates a full spectrum of route clearance
capability.
Dan Deguire, Vice President of Land Systems for QinetiQ North America said, "Our
company is once again honored to partner with Critical Solutions International
on the Husky Long Term Contract. We are pleased that the Q-Net(®) Rocket
Propelled Grenade (RPG) defeat system has been selected as a critical component
of the Husky route clearance program. Q-Nets have a long history of outstanding
performance in the field. Our continued partnership with CSI has greatly
increased the survivability for both American service members and our
international allies against this deadly threat."
