The system boasts a proven track record in a range of operational and environmental conditions.

With competitive evaluations conducted by independent government defence agencies and end user organisations, Stealth is in service with a number of prominent navies.

The Stealth Life Support System range is operationally proven globally, is in-service with numerous NATO and non NATO countries being the only electronically controlled Life Support System that strictly complies with the United States Department of Defence (DoD) magnetic signature standard MIL-DTL-19595D, NATO magnetic signature standard AEODP-7 plus the NATO low acoustic standard AMP-15.

Stealth are multi-mission underwater life support rebreathers that provide a common platform to meet a range of operational roles throughout the water column.

Operational capability includes:

Very Shallow Water operations (VSW)
Deep Mine Countermeasure Explosive Ordnance; disposal to a depth of 100msw using Heliox/Trimix
Mine Countermeasures Explosive Ordnance; disposal to a depth of 40msw using an air diluent
Special Operations Forces (SOF)

The requirement to meet NATO AEODP-7 Class A (STANAG 2897) without compromise is an operational necessity. Stealth CDLSE fully meets the requirements of AEODP-7 Class A (STANAG 2897) under both static and dynamic test conditions in all attitudes and for all components that may come into contact with magnetically sensitive ordnance.

Sea mines continue to increase in sophistication; in response Stealth CDLSE surpasses the low acoustic test requirements of NATO STANAG AMP15. Stealth CDLSE functions by analysing the breathing gas and through the automatic addition of 100% Oxygen, the Partial Pressure of Oxygen (PO2) is accurately maintained at a pre-set level dependent upon the depth.

Using three independent oxygen sensors, Stealth's control system rapidly and accurately responds to changes in life support system status.

A Diluent gas (Air, Heliox or Trimix) provides gas volume within the closed-circuit primary breathing system, whilst Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from exhaled gas is absorbed by the scrubber unit.
