The Flyaway Rapid Response Bell had a single primary design goal - to allow the entire system to be transported by the widest range of commercial aircraft possible
With air transport requirements being the most challenging aspect of a global submarine rescue deployment, the Flyaway Rapid Response Bell ensures that even without any military transport, the system will be on site at the location of a submarine emergency in the shortest possible time.
As a result of the air transport optimisation, the system also has the smallest deck footprint of any offered system, hugely increasing the range of possible Vessels of Opportunity for deployment.
Further Information
- Compatible with widest range of aircraft including many commercial freight aircraft - minimising TTFR.
- Takes up a minimum of deck space - allowing widest range of VOOs therefore shorter TTFR.
- Simple system, low upfront and ongoing costs.
