Multi-Diver Heating & Cooling System for Wet Submersibles (Special Operations Command) - Contingent upon congressional appropriation and/or congressional notification
Abstract
This project will validate an existing underwater diver heating and cooling system (DHCS) for Special Operations Forces (SOF) use that maintains a combat diver's core body temperature, regardless of water temperature. The DHCS is based on a miniature vapor compression cycle heat pump that exchanges fluid through high density liquid circulating garments worn by SOF conducting maritime missions. The primary output is a mission enhancing survival system that will be an integral part of the future Shallow Water Combat Submersible for Navy SEALs. Fielding reduction is greater than five years.
