Dry Combat Submersible (DCS)

Abstract

This sub-project provides for the advanced development, engineering, manufacturing, and testing efforts for a surface-launched, dry, diver lock-in/lock-out vessel capable of inserting and extracting SOF and/or payloads into denied areas. USSOCOM awarded an Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract in FY 2016 to produce one production representative vessel, with options to produce two additional vessels. USSOCOM is testing one submersible prototype to validate test methodologies, commercial classification, and SOCOM safety certification processes and will continue to use the prototype to evaluate capability enhancing technologies and reduce risk in the DCS program. This project includes funding for enhanced warfighter capabilities such as Mid-Water Column Lock-In/Lock-Out, depressurization pump, and submarine interoperability.
