Thrust Maritime, an Australian veteran-owned company known for its high integrity Launch and Recovery Systems (LARS), has secured a significant multimillion-dollar defence contract.
The contract involves supplying a cutting edge LARS for submarine rescue operations to a major European Navy.
The LARS is designed to deploy a special umbilical that enables emergency ventilation and decompression for a disabled submarine, significantly enhancing the survivability of the personnel onboard. This solution is a pivotal component of a broader system provided by our client, Phoenix International.
The availability of an Submarine Emergency Ventilation and Decompression System (SEVDS) not only enhances the submarine force's response capabilities but also positively impacts morale, addressing critical challenges such as recruitment and retention.
