The HABETaS® system consists of the following components which have been jointly designed and fine tuned to work as a complete system, rather than separate individual components:   An optimised Escape Chamber for a minimum of one person A Flood and Vent Controller optimising the flood and compression profiles for the individual escape depth, in order to minimise the gas consumption per escapee and reduce the physical burden on the escapee during these processes An inflation controller regulating the gas supply to the escapee's lifejacket and ascent hood, directly from the gas banks, always at a pressure just above the actual pressure inside the air lock A new bfa SPES submarine personnel escape system, consisting of a lifejacket with an inflation connector, an ascent hood and two high performance relief valves permanently supplying the escapee with fresh breathable gas from the lifejacket's stole
