Dry Combat Submersible (DCS)

Abstract

DCS 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 of one Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) and two production units. USSOCOM tested 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 program includes funding for enhanced warfighter capabilities such as Mid-Water Column Lock-In/Lock-Out, depressurization pump, and submarine interoperability.
