Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) Delivery Vehicle (SDV MK 11)/Shallow Water Combat Submersible (SWCS)
Abstract
The SDV MK 11 (Acquisition program name: SWCS) provides for the design, development and test of one EDM and 10 production units to replace the legacy MK 8 MOD 1 SDV system. The SDV MK 11 is a free-flooding combat submersible mobility platform suitable for transporting and deploying SOF and their payloads for a variety of SOF missions. The SDV MK 11 will be deployable from a Dry Deck Shelter (DDS), surface ships, and land. The MK 11 system includes the MK 11 vehicle and MK 11 support equipment, comprised of Mission Support Equipment (MSE), Pack-Up Kit (PUK), and Transportation and Handling (T&H). It also includes integration efforts with the current DDS and development of product improvements accomplished throughout the lifecycle of the system. The SWCS line item transitioned to SDV beginning in FY 2022 to better align with historical terminology and material solution.
