1ST Generation Rescue System
In 1999, JFD transformed LR5 into a steel-hulled, Transfer Under Pressure (TUP) capable submarine rescue vehicle. The
design for the new LR5,
known internally as DSAR-1, formed the basis for future generation SRVs.
As an established provider to 42 navies, JFD delivers innovative and technically advanced submarine escape and rescue solutions that improve safety and preserve life in the event of a submarine incident.
Our end-to-end capability spans the entire life cycle of submarine rescue systems - from design, manufacture, and integration, to installation, operation, maintenance, training and in-service support. JFD has incomparable experience within this challenging environment.
