On the 10th Aniversary of its incorporation Gosport based
Advanced Marine Innovation Technology Subsea Ltd (AMITS) proudly announces that
the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) has become the launch customer for its new
generation escape system valves.
The RNLN Walrus class submarines will be
retrofitted with this new equipment. The contract has been achieved through the
HABETaS consortium. Within the consortium AMITS provides the control valve
system and the German submarine builder HDW effects the adaptation of the
submarine to install the system. The third member of the consortium,
Ballonfabrik Augsburg, the manufacturer of the escape suits has recently been
acquired by the Survitec Group and the suit manufacture is now centred at RFD
Beaufort in Birkenhead.
HABETaS is an international consortium and the the UK
provides a major proportion of the system.
In
2006 HABETAS carried out successful testing of the air system in Malmo,
Sweden. This was witnessed by an international audience who were very
impressed with the results. The following stills give an idea of the
level of testing; contact Ramsey Martin at AMITS for full test and technical information.
