description
Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) Salvage and Marine Operations (SALMO) Delivery Team (DT) have a requirement for design, development and testing, manufacture, training, and support of a Multi-Role Rebreather (MRR) diver breathing apparatus to support a range of tasks including long endurance diving operations.
The introduction of new underwater mobility assets has highlighted limitations of current in-service underwater breathing apparatus that were not procured to support current or emerging capability, and other associated dive tasks.
The Authority requires a UK Prime supplier to deliver this requirement. The following is provided for information.
High-level system parameters:
| - | Sub-surface endurance of 3 to 12 hours. |
| - | Transit depth approx. 6m up to 10m, short excursions to a maximum depth of 30m. |
| - | Modular design enabling flexibility for operations including: |
| - | Endurance variable from 3 to 12 hours depending upon mission requirements |
| - | Use of propulsion equipment up to 3 knots |
| - | Extended periods of swimming |
| - | Able to be rapidly re-roled for multiple diving tasks during an operation. |
| - | Able to be easily stowed and made ready for use. |
| - | Streamlined, compact design. |
| - | Efficient resource use to minimise size and weight. |
Technical considerations:
| - | Closed circuit, electronic diver breathing system with built in safety and resource monitoring systems. |
| - | Upgradable sensor and monitoring systems throughout the life of the capability. |
Supplier experience/considerations:
| - | UK Prime able to operate with and handle data at OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE and above, including provision of UK National staff with SC. |
| - | Track record of designing, developing, and testing diver breathing apparatus to military requirements/standards. |
| - | Access to diver breathing apparatus development and test facilities to the Requirements of BS EN 14143. |
| - | Oxygen clean room assembly and maintenance facilities. |
| - | Ability to manufacture at scale and provide the Quality Assurance processes to support a military diver breathing apparatus capability. |
