In 2009 a modified variant of the MXT-MVA was ordered for service with the British Army. This variant is known as the Husky in British military service. The Husky was ordered to replace the British Army's Snatch Land Rovers in Afghanistan, which had proven to be inadequate in protecting their occupants from improvised explosive devices. A total of 262 vehicles were initially ordered. In 2010, a follow up order was placed for an additional 89 vehicles, worth US$56 million.
