New Build IFE Overview
New Build IFE Overview
The new build Inflatable Freeboard Extender is designed as a permanent, reusable escape option which is fitted between the rescue seat and the escape tower hatch of a submarine.
It is deflated and stored in housing, which is bolted to the lip of the rescue seat under the casing. When stowed, the IFE is not sealed, instead it is open to external pressures as the submarine dives.
