Beaufort Achieves 300m Qualification for Submarine Escape Systems with Hale Hamilton Technology
A collaborative engineering programme between Beaufort and Hale Hamilton has successfully achieved operational qualification for submarine escape from depths of up to 300 metres, establishing a new global standard for submariner survivability.
This breakthrough represents a 50 percent increase over the traditional 200m benchmark, making Hale Hamilton’s Hood Inflation System (HIS) and Beaufort’s Resolute and MK11 systems the deepest-qualified submarine escape solutions available worldwide.
