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
The FY22 reduction of $0.227M is the final SBIR assessment. FY24 increase of $4.309M is to fund the Submarine Rescue System Modernization Program. Increase is required by the Navy in order to provide a credible U.S. Submarine Rescue System (SRS) for our sailors and ally partner nations. As part of detailed review, Navy determined the system had not been funded sufficiently to properly modernize the system and FY24 budget increase is to support this. The modernization of SRS is required to address known reliability and obsolescence issues and support the planned minimum 15 year system service life extension prior to SRS's end of life and inoperability.
