Submarine Rescue Capability and Its Challenges
X Submarine Rescue Capability and its Challenges 41496_DSTA 4-15#150Q.indd 1 5/6/10 1:08 AM ABSTRACT Providing rescue to the crew of a disabled submarine is of paramount concern to many submarine-operating nations. Various rescue systems are in operation around the world. In 2007, the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) acquired a rescue service through a Public–Private Partnership. With a locally based solution to achieve this time-critical mission, the rescue capability of the RSN has been greatly enhanced.

Submarine Rescue Systems GLOBAL & REGIONAL
Submarine Rescue Systems GLOBAL & REGIONAL jfdglobal.com ABOUT JFD 1973 Over 40 years ago a coordinated, multinational rescue effort culminated in the recovery of Roger Chapman and Roger Mallinson from their Pisces III submersible. After more than 76 hours trapped on the seabed, and with fewer than 20 minutes of life support remaining, their rescue was the first of its kind and, at 480 metres, remains the deepest ever performed. Roger Chapman would go on to dedicate his life to the safety of those who spend their lives subsea by founding Rumic, the company that would eventually become JFD. JFD continues to develop pioneering solutions for submarine escape and rescue and is now recognised as the world leader in this capability. 2 3 ABOUT JFD CAPABILITY & PEDIGREE As an established provider to 42 navies, JFD delivers innovative and technically advanced submarine escape and rescue solutions that improve safety and preserve life in the event of a submarine incident.

JFD Wins Significant Indian Navy Submarine Rescue Contract Inside This Issue
DIVULGED WINTER 2016 JFD wins significant Indian Navy Submarine Rescue contract JFD has been awarded a major contract worth £193m by the Indian Navy for the provision and long term support of its submarine rescue capability. The contract includes the design, build and supply of two complete submarine rescue systems, and a 25-year all inclusive annual maintenance contract. This further enhances JFD’s worldwide submarine rescue service presence following last year’s announcement of the award of a £12.1m contract by the UK Ministry of Defence for operation of the NATO Submarine Rescue System (NSRS). This additional contract means JFD will be delivering submarine rescue services to six of the most advanced navies in the world, confirming the company's leadership in this elite niche. JFD will provide two complete fly-away submarine rescue systems, including Deep Search and Rescue Vehicles (DSRV), Launch and Recovery Systems (LARS) equipment, Transfer Under Pressure (TUP) systems, and all logistics and support equipment required to operate the service. The equipment will be designed, manufactured, integrated and tested by JFD prior to shipping to India for final commissioning and trials.The service support will be managed in country by a team of experienced JFD engineers. Over the life of the contract, the JFD team will train local teams of engineers to maintain the systems, employing the knowledge it has gained through years of operating world-class submarine rescue services with navies across the world and creating an indigenous expert submarine rescue capability. The service contract allows JFD to share best practice, expertise and commonality of approach, which will serve to benefit the entire global submarine community.
