DSAR SRV Overview

Technology, built around experience.

The Deep Search and Rescue (DSAR) Class submarine rescue vehicle is the latest submersible from James Fisher Defence. The SRV design builds upon more than 25 years of Submarine Rescue operations.

In just 22 months, JFD designed, manufactured and delivered two DSAR Class submarine rescue vehicles to the Navies of the Republic of Korea and Singapore.

Optimised for Fly-Away

DSAR Class Rescue Vehicles are optimised for ease of transport. Design considerations such as the integrated skirt afford DSAR vehicles a typical in-air weight of just 22.5 tonnes; the lightest in their class.

DSAR-5 (ROKS-DSRV-II)

In 2009 JFD delivered into service ROKS-DSRV-II (formerly "DSAR-5") to the Republic of Korea Navy. ROKS-DSRV-II was formally accepted into service on-time and to budget on December 22 in a service onboard the dedicated mothership, Cheong Hae Jin.
