Wet Sub Seal

Wet Sub Seal vehicles are primarily launched from a hangar attached to the casing of a submarine and are released whilst fully submerged, at depths up to 30msw.

Once launched, Wet Sub Seal remains submerged for the entire mission. Typically, Wet Sub Seal carries 8 personnel. The vehicles may approach, or break, the surface for communication or reconnaissance purposes.

Wet Sub Seal has been designed for rapid mission-specific re-configuration through the change-out of modular sections.

Example applications for a Wet Sub Seal include:

Delivery of 6-man combat team
Host platform for littoral survey package
Electronic warfare or reconnaisance platform
Port and estuary security
Mine countermeasure operations

Power is provided by lithium polymer batteries and a vectored-thruster arrangement, affording sprint speeds of greater than seven knots and a range of 50nm.

Wet Sub Seal vehicles may also be deployed by surface craft or rotary-wing aircraft.

A smaller variant of Wet Sub Seal may be transported within a submarine’s flexible payload tube.

Deployment & Recovery Options
Wet Sub Seal may be deployed from a surface ship. JFD can provide Launch & Recovery Systems to meet customer requirements. Medium-lift rotary wing aircraft are suitable for the insertion and extraction of an under-slung Sub SEAL vehicle.

Propulsion & Control
Power is provided by Lithium Polymer batteries and a vectored-thruster arrangement, affording sprint speeds of greater than seven knots and a range of 96km.

SINC System
The Steering Information Navigation Control (SINC) system is common to all vehicles in The SEAL Pod. SINC manages course, heading and way-point navigation, GPS, communications and reconnaissance equipment.

Wet Sub Seal has been designed for rapid mission-specific re-configuration through the change-out of modular sections.

The following are examples of some of the many configurations available in support of the mission-types described within the applications tab.

Swimmer delivery configuration
