NATO SUBMARINE RESCUE SYSTEM - AN INTEGRATED APPROACH

摘要

Rolls-Royce is the Prime Contractor for the NATO Submarine Rescue System (NSRS) project to provide a state of the art submarine rescue capability. The project is a collaborative venture between the governments of France, Norway and the United Kingdom to provide a fully integrated emergency response capability, able to respond to a submarine sinking anywhere in the world within demanding target times. Submarine rescue is a broad and interesting subject covering a wide range of complex technical and operational issues. This paper will briefly cover the recent background history leading to the requirement for submarine rescue systems and NSRS in particular, the NSRS contract requirements and contract scope, the composition of the Rolls-Royce team delivering the contract, an overview of the system drawing out some of the key technology issues involved and finally a summary of Rolls-Royce's vision and strategy for submarine rescue in the future.
