PMS 390 Undersea Special Mission Systems Submarine Rescue

Mission Support our nation's elite underwater warriors by providing unparalleled special mission capabilities to ensure success and survival in the most demanding environments worldwide.

Vision Field innovative US special mission capabilities to operate faster, deeper, safer.

Going where others won't.

Operating where others can't.

Today’s Purpose

• Provide an opportunity for the Government to present:

− Program Objectives − Selected Material Solution − Desired Solution Characteristics − Desired Capabilities − Notional Approach & Timeline: Prototype Design & Production Contact(s)/Agreement(s) − Notional Approach & Timeline: Follow-on Production & Services Contract/Agreement − Notional Program Schedule

• Provide an opportunity for Industry to:

− Ask questions about the information provided by the Government − Engage with potential teaming partners − Think beyond the near-term acquisition but the follow-on work and begin to build a business strategy around the life of the Program − Present how each industry partner proposes to deliver the desired material solution and address the challenge of submarine rescue in a global environment

1. Deliver a Next Generation (NextGen) Submarine Rescue System (SRS) to replace the legacy Submarine Rescue Diving & Recompression System (SRDRS) achieving Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in FY33 and Full Operational Capability (FOC) by FY35

• IOC is the defined as 1 full system classified and delivered

• SRS refers to the entire system of systems required to execute the rescue and decompression operation

2. Leverage lessons learned from legacy US and Partner Nation system along with commercially available state of the art technology to provide a system with next level mission capabilities

3. Achieve the required Operational Availability (Ao) and global Time To First Rescue (TTFR*) by employing design simplicity, a smaller logistical footprint, and increased adaptability

Operational Availability

• Desired Capability: 24/7/365 worldwide rescue (Ao = 1)

• Minimum Capability: Ao=0.9

Global Time To First Rescue

• Desired Capability: 48-hours

• Minimum Capability: 72-hours

Program Objectives

*TTFR within design and logistical capabilities of the systems; distance from airport and seaport, VOO availability, sea state, depth of water, and angle of submarine are major factors.

Selected Material Solution

• The US will execute the acquisition of multiple commercially classified, small, highly transportable rescue chambers capable of executing decompression.

• The Government has designated these conceptual chambers as Hyperbaric Rescue Modules (HRMs) as they serve as the rescue vehicle and are capable of decompression.

− HRMs shall be capable to mate with a DISSUB rescue seat that meets the

International Submarine Rescue Requirements and Instruction Manual for Mating with U.S. NAVY Rescue Assets (SS700-AA-INS-010) and ANEP 85 Material Interoperability Requirements for Submarine Escape and Rescue.

• The solution provides the highest operational availability, combining an effective sustainable configuration with the fastest time to first rescue, thus ensuring the critical life system can be deployed, mobilized, and begin rescue in time to rescue the crew.

Desired Solution Characteristics

• Small, light weight, highly transportable system designed for transport on standard commercial and military air assets − I.E. Not requiring specialized heavy lift air transport (C-5 Galaxy, Antonov AN-124, etc.)

• Small logistical footprint, minimizing required modification to Vessel Of Opportunity (VOO) and reducing the number of required components to execute submarine rescue

− Ex: Utilizing organic VOO crane, when possible, instead of always requiring a specialized Launch & Recovery System

• Commercially Classified System by an IACS Organization

• Maximize use of Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) systems in accordance with commercial specifications

• Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA)

- No proprietary software or hardware (excluding COTS sub-systems)

- Enabling interoperability with foreign partners and simplify maintenance/component replacement

• Modular design approach to facilitate current and future non-submarine rescue system applications − Portable Pier Side Decompression (baseline desired application) − Saturation Diving (potential future application)

• Simplified design approach to support ease of maintenance and increase reliability

Desired System Capabilities

• Capable of achieving global TTFR of 72 hours or better

• Capable of executing continuous rescue sorties while conducting decompression operations on the VOO

• Capable of executing decompression with air and regulated oxygen

• If executing decompression in the HRM, the HRM must be capable of maintaining a habitable internal environment during prolonged rescue and decompression operations in various operational scenarios and external environmental conditions.

• Capable of launching and recovering HRM with organic shipboard crane and with rapidly deployable

LARS

• Capable of executing pier side decompression with minimal logistical footprint

• Capable of performing unpressurized and pressure rescue of at least 3ata or higher

• Capable of supporting future incorporation of saturation diving capabilities with limited HRM design modifications − Potentially including incorporation of critical saturation diving infrastructure as part of the initial

HRM design

• Scope of Work:

− Develop a prototype system design − Manufacture the tactical prototype − Execute all required testing to support “Proof of Concept” & IOT&E

• Request for Information: Q1FY27 − To be released on Sam.Gov − Request Industry feedback on Draft Performance Specification

• Formal Solicitation: Q2/Q3FY27 − To be released on Sam.Gov

• Tentative Award: Q4FY27 − Gov’t will consider multiple awards to reduce Program risk, accelerate timeline & innovation, and maximize competition All options (OTA, FAR, etc.) being considered

− Gov’t will implement Gate Reviews with divestment options Concept Review (Tentative Q1FY28) Preliminary Design Review (Tentative Q3/Q4FY28) Critical Design Review (Tentative Q3FY29)

Notional Approach & Timeline:

Prototype Design & Production Contact(s)/Agreement(s)

• Scope of Work:

− Production of second US system − Potential production of Foreign Military Sales systems − Government Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) contract and services arrangement to execute the maintenance & operation of the US systems

• Tentative Award: FY32 or sooner solicitation & award

Notional Approach & Timeline:

Follow-on Production & Services Contract/Agreement

Multiple rescue vehicles used for continuous rescue sorties

SUMMARY: Procure two Next Generation Submarine Rescue Systems (SRS) that are strategically located to provide layered capability, force resilience and rapid global rescue.

The SRS will be based around multiple HRMs, which will execute rescue and are capable of in-vehicle decompression treatment. The system also includes the required auxiliary systems (ex LARs, ROVs, Generator, etc.)

HRMs to be deployed/recovered using a shipboard crane or dedicated LARS.

HRM Rescuees/Sortie: TBD by vendor

Air transport on military or commercial aircraft

Decompression to be completed on VOO deck using either air or regulated O2

Ability to deploy/recover the rescue vehicle using a shipboard crane or dedicated LARS

Overview

Purpose

• Provide an opportunity for each organization’s representatives to inform the government how to best execute

Submarine Rescue in the future

• Focus should be on specific recommendations and solutions

• Your recommendations will help inform the government as it decides how to best proceed with the Next

Generation Submarine Rescue Program

Industry and Gov’t “One-On-One’s”

Clarification of Requirements

• During the Industry Day brief, the Government stated the desire for decompression to be executed inside the HRM on the VOO rather than utilizing a dedicated, separate, decompression component.

• Clarification: The SRS shall execute decompression on the VOO as well as pier side using a reduced logistical footprint. While the desire is for the HRM to be capable to execute decompression, it does not need to be the primary method of decompression for the System. However, the SRS shall still satisfy the requirements for achieving global TTFR, operational availability, modularity, and transportability.
