Description

Naval Special Warfare operations depend on mobility. A man-portable, rapidly deployable, inflatable surface system to facilitate the high-speed surface tow of a disabled undersea vehicle such as the SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) and Shallow Water Combat Submersible (SWCS) is needed. Triton Systems proposes a packable inflatable system that deploys and installs rapidly and simply. During Phase I, the team will study the hydrodynamic requirements for safe and stable towing, analyze materials and manufacturing methods, develop deployment, installation, recovery, and stowage options, provide risk/payoff trade analysis for various options, and recommend a system design and associated cost estimate.
