Large amounts of money are spent globally ensuring that submariners are equipped with specialist Escape and Abandonment Equipment.  There are Submarine Escape Suits which have an integral single-man life raft to aid survivability once an ‘escaping’ submariner reaches the surfaces.  It is not possible for these life rafts to be SOLAS compliant which leads to the survival time on the surface being reliant on a speedy rescue.

Sonistics worked for many years with staff at the UK Submarine Escape Tank (SETT) to develop SEApac which goes some way to extending the valuable hours before rescue.

Over 3,000 SEApac are now in service with the Royal Australian Navy and the Royal Netherlands Navy.

 

 

SEApac Improves survivability of Escaping or Abandoning Submariners on the surface by:-

• Adding comfort and aiding visibility
• Fits into the leg pocket of all in-service Submarine Escape Suits
• Contents can be adapted to suit each user
• Tested to 300m
