  1. Deep Submergence Unit

  2. Who NeedsSubmarine Rescue? ?

  3. World Wide Submarine Rescue • Deep Submergence Unit • Sole US Provider Mission: Disabled Submarine (DISSUB) Intervention and Rescue Includes: mooring, assessment, hatch preparation, rescue, medical triage, initial treatment

  4. Who We Are Active duty: 7 officers, 32 enlisted Reserves: 10 officers, 51 enlisted Civilians: 4 Total: 104 Contractors: 27 (on site), surge personnel as needed to support requirements

  5. Time To First Rescue (TTFR) Alert / Planning Vessel Transit/Preparation Aircraft Transit/Onload/Transit/Offload Aircraft Transit/Onload/Transit/Offload Installation onto Vessel Installation onto vessel Localization Localization Intervention Intervention Transit and Mate Transit and Mate Goal = 72 hours

  6. START: SUBMISS or SUBSUNK message received at Deep Submergence Unit Rescue Mission Sequence … and is offloaded for transport to a Vessel of Opportunity (VOO) Aircraft transits to nearest supporting airfield ... PRM and support equipment are loaded onto the VOO Not pictured: Search, mooring, intervention END: VOO transports PRM and holds position over Disabled Submarine (DISSUB) while PRM transports 16 rescuees per trip to the VOO PRM and associated equipment including life support and medical supplies are loaded on transport aircraft (C5, C17, Antonov)

  10. System Overview SRDRS AUWS SRS-RCS SRS-TUP ADS PRM SDC

  11. SILOS (Klein 3000) Used for localization of DISSUB

  12. Lightweight Mooring System (LWMS) • 2,000 ft (606 m) mooring capability • Easily deployed on multiple platforms

  13. ADS 2000 ATMOSPHERIC DIVING SYSTEM SUIT • Mission = Intervention • No Decompression (1 ATM in suit) • Tethered to Surface Ship • Video, Sonar Capability • Thrusters for Maneuvering • Articulated Joints • Self-Contained Breathing (O2/CO2) • 2,000 ft (606 m) Maximum Depth

  14. SUBMARINE RESCUE CHAMBER FLYAWAY SYSTEM • Downhaul cable attached to hatch using ADS (or ROV) • SRC reels down to DISSUB , buoyant ascent • 2 Operators / 6 Rescuees per trip • 850 ft (256 m) max depth

  15. Falcon - Mission = Rescue - 2 Crew / 16 Rescuees - 2,000 ft (606 m) depth limit

  16. Able to mate up to a 45 degree angle

  17. Elements of SRS-RCS

  18. SRDRS Operations to Date • Numerous manned dives • 26 Mates to submarines • 20 Mates to training fixture at 600 m depth • 12 mates to training fixture at 150 m

  19. SRDRS Status Phase 1 – ADS was certified in 2006 and accepted by the fleet in 2007 Phase 2 – RCS was certified and accepted by the fleet in 2008 Phase 3 – TUP is anticipated to deliver sometime in 2015
