Ocean Engineering Tech Dev

Abstract

Developments in this program will enable the U.S. Navy to overcome deficiencies that constrain manned diving operations in several critical areas such as submarine rescue, recovery, salvage, underwater ship husbandry, underwater construction and naval special operations. This program develops biomedical technology, diver life support equipment, and the systems, tools, and procedures to permit manned underwater operations and enhance diver performance and safety.

Change Summary Explanation
FY16 - Added $0.7M to support development of submarine rescue diving and recompression system capability which will permit rescue and decompression from a submarine pressurized to 6 atmospheres. FY18 - Funding increase by $3.656M due to $1.785M additional funding for the Submarine Rescue program [0394] and $1.871M for Navy Diving Biomedical research and equipment [0394 and 0099]. Additional funding for 0394 was added to complete manned testing, sea trials, and obtain certification and IOC for Submarine Rescue Diving and Recompression System (SRDRS) Transfer Under Pressure (TUP). Additional funding for 0099 was added to maintain Deep Submergence Biomedical Development (DSBD) Program that supports multiple undersea capabilities that include the survivability, health and safety of submarine crews from a disabled submarine as well as Navy divers executing salvage, underwater ship husbandry, underwater construction, explosive ordnance disposal and special warfare missions.
