JFD has revealed that it is creating an advanced medical monitoring system to support the NATO Submarine Rescue System (NSRS). According to the company, the project represents a major upgrade in how the health of submariners and rescue crews is tracked during emergency operations.
The new system is designed to expand medical coverage from a small number of individuals to dozens at once, with real-time data being transmitted from those inside the rescue environment. JFD explained that the technology will provide medical teams—both on site and on shore—with continuous updates on vital signs and overall health status.
According to JFD, this monitoring capability will be integrated into the wider NSRS, which is operated and maintained by the company on behalf of participating NATO nations. The aim is to ensure that submariners evacuated from a distressed submarine can be safely transferred under pressure conditions while being medically supervised throughout the process.
Richard Devlin, JFD’s Defence Director, stated that the new system reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation in life-saving subsea rescue technology. He emphasized that by combining modern health monitoring tools with the established rescue infrastructure, NATO’s ability to safeguard submariners will be significantly strengthened.
JFD added that this development continues its role as a key partner in submarine rescue, building on years of experience providing specialized equipment and support for international navies.
