DRASS’ PLARS (Portable Launch and Recovery System), essential for launching and recovering Drass SRV (Submarine Rescue Vehicle), enables safe, efficient operations during high-stakes DISSUB rescue missions. Mounted at the vessel’s stern and hydraulically powered, PLARS guides the SRV on a controlled descent to an optimal depth for precision deployment, even in challenging conditions (sea states up to 5).
Drass SRV—a key component of today’s most effective Submarine Rescue Solution S.A.V.E.R.—accommodates double the occupancy of any existing rescue craft.
Drass S.A.V.E.R.— integral to submarine rescue vessels such as the Italian Navy’s Nave Olterra—is rapidly deployable on any VOO (Vessels of Opportunity) thanks to its modular design that breaks down into ISO-standard sizes for fast intermodal land/sea/air transportability.
