Abstract

The FY 2021 funding request was reduced by $0.381 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. 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.
