The Company’s members have provided system specifications, design, engineering, testing and certification support that has helped evolve the Navy Program from its concept stage to the first hardware deliverables. Our member’s total participation is over 10 years in the novel Navy Program including involvement with key elements listed below. This extensive involvement through all phases of development has placed us in the unique position of possessing broad technical knowledge, programmatic experience, and a thorough understanding of the various MIL standards, ABS and NAVY requirements.
AES team members are proud to be a participant in the development of Navy’s Submarine Rescue System (SRS) Program.
PROJECT:
SRDRS is to provide capability of pressurized transportation
of rescuees from a stricken submarine directly to the
decompression system and designed to operate from the deck of a commercial or
military vessel of opportunity, with sufficient deck area and strength. This
constitutes a radical departure from the capabilities of the previous Deep
Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV), which relied on specially modified mother
submarines or ships. SRDRS components are designed to fit within standard
ISO-container dimensions for simplified transportation, with weight
minimization to provide optimal air transport.
The Submarine Rescue Diving and Recompression System (SRDRS)
consists of distinct elements, which include the Assessment/Underwater Work
System (AUWS); Submarine Decompression System (SDS); and the Pressurized Rescue
Module System (PRMS); and PRMS Mission Support Equipment, including the Launch
and Recovery System (LARS) a deck mounted A-frame crane used to launch and
recover the PRM.
