Protected Weapon Station (Support Weapon) (PWS (SW)) HUSKY Patrol (SW) is fitted with the ISTEC Protected Weapon Station (Support Weapons) (PWS (SW)). It is suitable for the deployment of 40mm GMG, HMG, GPMG or LMG. Features include Stanag Level 3 composite armour, the ISTEC Universal Gun Mount, Armoured Hatch, geared traverse slewing ring, and ammo, weapon and ancillary stowage. Protected Weapon Station (Hatch) (PWS (H)) HUSKY Patrol (Utility) is fitted with the lighter PWS (H) (Stanag 1,2 or 3-) armour. It utilises the same slewing ring and hatch as the PWS (SW) but is fitted with a 7.62mm GPMG Gun Mount. Should the situation arise, all armour panels and gun mount can be removed just leaving the hatch which can be opened to 180 degrees. Manufactured by Navistar Defence, the Husky is a protected medium-armoured high-mobility tactical support vehicle (TSV) designed specifically for the British Army. It is produced in three variants – patrol vehicle, ambulance and command post vehicle. The patrol version is equipped with a flat bed, while the command and ambulance variants have enclosed cabs at the rear. The Husky is based on the International MXT-MVA made by Navistar Defence with significant impovements. It will carry out the support roles in areas where heavy vehicles, like Mastiff, cannot be used. Designed to navigate Afghanistan’s rough terrain and also perform in off-road conditions, HUSKY utilizes a specially-designed, light- weight armor, which is incorporated into the survivability system. The UK HUSKY variant utilises a smaller base which allows HUSKY to weigh significantly less than the company’s MRAP units also now in service in Afghanistan.
