These vehicles were developed tested, and readied for production in less than two years. They made a descent to a 12,000 foot depth in less than 45 minutes with 0 loss or change of cabin pressure, and no adverse affect on the crew. Here are the specs:
Description: Extreme Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicles perform rescue operations on submerged, disabled submarines of the Uroburos Naval Forces or foreign navies.
Features: EDSRVs are designed for quick deployment in the event of a submarine accident. EDSRVs are transportable by truck, aircraft, ship, or by specially configured attack submarine. At the accident site, the EDSRV works with either a “mother” ship or “mother” submarine. The EDSRV dives, conducts a sonar search, and attaches to the disabled submarine’s hatch. DSRVs can embark up to 24 personnel for transfer to the “mother” vessel.
The EDSRV also has an arm to clear hatches on a disabled submarine and a combined gripper and cable cutter. The gripper is able to lift 1,000 pounds.
Background: DSRVs were developed as a result of the UDS Salaca slast year, when all hands were lost. At the time, submarine operating depths greatly exceeded the capabilities of rescue vessels. The Extreme Deep Submergence Systems Project contracted through several international corporations helped produced this amazing vessel in less than two years.
