New Submarine Rescue System: Enhancing Global Safety and Support

The video discusses a new submarine rescue system developed by the UK, France, and Norway, set to be operational by the end of 2006. This system includes a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) for locating submarines and assessing conditions, and a Submarine Rescue Vehicle (SRV) for rescuing crew members. The ROV can provide emergency supplies and prepare submarines for rescue, while the SRV can dive to 600 meters and rescue up to 150 survivors. A dedicated team in Scotland coordinates the deployment of these vehicles globally within 72 hours of an emergency.
