SAS 2017: Teledyne Brown Engineering Showcasing its Shallow Water Combat Submersible
|
|||
| At the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space 2017 exposition currently held near Washington D.C., Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) is showcasing its Shallow Water Combat Submersible (SWCS). TBE is under contract with the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to design, develop, test, manufacture, and sustain the SWCS, a replacement system for the current SEAL Delivery Vehicle. | |||

| The SWCS System is a manned combat submersible vehicle specifically designed to insert and extract Special Operation Forces (SOF) in high threat areas. USSOCOM oversees these elite military tactical teams from the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps. The $383m development contract was awarded in 2011 to Teledyne Brown Engineering (against The Columbus Group who built the SDV Mk.VIII Mod-1) with the first test unit delivered in late 2014. According to HI Sutton, the US Navy SEALs SWCS is 6.8 meters in length, 1.5 meters in eight and width, and should be able to accommodate at least 6 sailors. |
