The US Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) has awarded a contract to HDT Global’s (HDT) Expeditionary Systems Group division to deliver its HDT ArctiX shelter systems.

Under the contract, the company will supply HDT Base-X expeditionary shelter family, the HDT ArctiX shelter to allow the US MCSC to operate in austere cold weather locations.

HDT Expeditionary Systems Group USMC/Joint Programs business development vice-president Mike Stolarz said: "The HDT ArctiX shelter system gives the USMC the capability to perform their mission, particularly when facing extremely harsh, cold environments."
