AMITS, bfa and HDW have jointly decided to develop, test, certify and market a new Submarine Personnel Escape and Rescue System. The three companies have combined their technological strengths and design capabilities for the benefit of the HABETaS® (HDW, Amits, Bfa Escape Technology advanced SPES) project. The consortium co-operates with the aim to realise a system making escapes from submarines from greater depths possible and to increase the escapees' safety during the rescue scenario.
