Description

The SRV-F Mk3 is an advanced free-swimming, manned submersible, engineered specifically for untethered rescue missions at depths exceeding 500 meters. This state-of-the-art Submersible Rescue Vehicle (SRV) is crewed by three operators and can transport up to 50 submariners in a single dive, ensuring robust rescue capabilities for large-scale operations. The SRV-F Mk3 is equipped with a NATO ANEP/MNEP 85 / 85.1 compliant mating skirt, featuring an innovative soft seal that enables secure connections to Distressed Submarines (DISSUBs) at angles of up to 45 degrees. This capability expands the SRV-F Mk3’s versatility in diverse underwater conditions, ensuring effective performance even in challenging rescue scenarios.
