ASRV Remora
ASRV Remora is an Australian Submarine Rescue Vehicle (ASRV) that was commissioned in 2009. The vehicle is designed to perform submarine rescue operations and is capable of rescuing up to 16 people at a time from a distressed submarine. The ASRV Remora is operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and is one of the most advanced submarine rescue vehicles in the world.
Design and Capabilities[edit | edit source]
The ASRV Remora is a remotely operated vehicle that is designed to attach to a distressed submarine and provide a means of escape for the crew. The vehicle is equipped with a number of advanced features, including a sophisticated sonar system for locating the submarine, a powerful hydraulic system for attaching to the submarine, and a pressurized rescue chamber for transporting the crew to the surface.
The Remora is capable of operating at depths of up to 500 meters and can rescue up to 16 people at a time. The vehicle is also equipped with a number of safety features, including a secondary rescue chamber in case the primary chamber fails, and a self-righting system in case the vehicle capsizes during a rescue operation.
Operations[edit | edit source]
The ASRV Remora is operated by a team of highly trained personnel from the RAN. The vehicle is launched from a mother ship and is remotely operated from a control room on the ship. The vehicle is guided to the distressed submarine using its sonar system, and once it has located the submarine, it uses its hydraulic system to attach to the submarine's escape hatch.
Once the Remora is securely attached to the submarine, the rescue chamber is opened and the crew of the submarine can enter the chamber. The chamber is then sealed and pressurized, and the vehicle is detached from the submarine and ascends to the surface. Once on the surface, the rescue chamber is opened and the rescued crew are transferred to the mother ship.
