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. FY2022 funding in this PE increased by $2.456M. The majority of this increase is $1.793M for Submarine Rescue to develop, design and implement submarine rescue improvements to current critical requirement gaps.
