Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
This project: 1) Develops advanced biomedical and bioengineering technology for medical and life support enhancement to decrease submariner deaths and permanent injury in a disabled submarine (DISSUB) and during submarine escape and rescue; 2) Conducts research for diver health, safety, and effectiveness to increase understanding of human performance and enhanced diver stress management and survivability in high stress environments such as in cold/warm water and at altitude. This project also validates and improves the accuracy of assumptions associated with equipment testing and certification, diving procedures, and diver biomedical physiology.
Integrated thrust area teams (e.g., decompression research) are established with university, commercial, and in-house Navy labs to jointly execute biomedical Research and Development (R&D). Peer review of research proposals accomplished by independent Technical Advisory Board. Annual review of progress by Executive Review Board (CNO/NAVSEA/ONR/BUMED). Program management by 0-6 Undersea Medical Officer. Contracting by competitive process using Business Area Analysis (BAA) and leveraging Office of Naval Research (ONR) capabilities.

(Diving - N97) This project develops systems to support submarine escape and rescue missions, and conventional diver operations. Diver operations include ship husbandry, salvage/recovery, and submarine rescue operations to support national, as well as Navy, needs around the world. Modern certifiable diving systems that ensure diver safety and allow maximum work efficiency will replace currently antiquated systems. R&D will be performed in the areas of diver tools to improve work efficiency, tracking and navigation, visual enhancement, contaminated water diving, diver environmental protection, and recompression chamber technology. (Submarine Escape and Rescue - N97) The modernization of Submarine Rescue System (SRS) is required to address known reliability and obsolescence issues and support the planned minimum 15 year system service life extension prior to SRS's end of life and inoperability. (Diving - N95) This project develops systems to support Naval Expeditionary Combat Command Diving. Operations include salvage/recovery and underwater construction to support national, as well as Navy, needs around the world. Modern certifiable diving systems that ensure diver safety and allow maximum work efficiency will replace currently antiquated systems. R&D will be performed in the areas of diver tools to improve work efficiency, tracking and navigation, visual enhancement, contaminated water diving, diver environmental protection and recompression chamber technology.
