ISE Delivers Sub Rescue System
International Submarine Engineering Ltd. (ISE) delivered the Control Van, Control System, and Power Distribution System for NAVSEA's Pressurized Rescue Module System (PRMS) and the Control System for the PRMS Handling System (HS). The PRMS, a part of the Submarine Rescue Diving and Recompression System (SRDRS), has completed Sea Trials at 600 m depth. This system will provide the US Navy with a rapidly deployable capability for rescuing crews from disabled submarines. The PRMS contains the elements of the SRDRS that constitute a remotely operated submarine rescue vehicle system. The new system will replace the US Navy's Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicles (DSRV) which has been in service since the 1970s. The PRMS Vehicle (PRM) is a remotely operated submersible whose payload is a pres-
