MK 12 Surface Supported Diving System (MK 12 SSDS) Mixed Gas, Technical Evaluation.
Abstract
The MK 12 SSDS Mixed Gas Technical Evaluation (TECHEVAL) was conducted to determine whether the MK 12 SSDS mixed-gas system functions in a technically acceptable manner and meets design and performance requirements. Developmental, unmanned, and manned testing shows that the MK 12 mixed-gas system can support working divers for extended periods at depths requiring helium-oxygen breathing mixtures; interfaces with existing fleet equipment and safety procedures; and meets the requirements of SOR 46-54. The MK 12 SSDS Mixed Gas TECHEVAL was satisfactorily completed and with completion of minor equipment modifications is ready for Operational Evaluation (OPEVAL). (Author)
