SOF Combat Diving provides the EMD, testing, and rapid prototyping of SOF peculiar diving equipment providing the SOF combat diver the ability to engage the enemy and conduct operations. SOF Combat Diving will support the SDV, SWCS, DCS, and surface craft with the conduct of infiltration/extraction, material recovery, underwater ship attack, beach clearance, and other missions. Technologies include, but are not limited to, commercial and developmental life support, maneuverability and propulsion, diver navigational accuracy and situational awareness, environmental protection, and communications between dive teams as well as between divers and external vessels/craft.
