SOF Combat Diving (CBDIV), Program Number 713

Abstract

The SOF Combat Diving program enables the delivery of special operations forces to denied or hostile areas and provides direct support the Navy's ability to conduct special operations. SOF Combat Diving rapidly develops prototypes to develop a family of systems of next generation diving equipment. Development areas support SO-peculiar (SO-p) life support systems, marine environmental protection, navigation, propulsion, and communication systems, which provides a fully outfitted Combat Diver. Continued investment in SOF Combat Diving's efficient and sustainable capabilities will allow SOF operators to continue extending their reach into contested/denied areas through propulsion and navigation improvements while increasing bottom time through improved diver climate protection.
