Liferafts for Large Military Vessels
Survitec is the number one choice liferaft supplier for some of the biggest military organisations worldwide. We manufacture a large range of liferafts for a number of different military applications, including maritime and aviation operations. Our vast range of liferafts ensures we can always find a product to match any of our customers’ requirements. From large military vessels to liferafts specifically designed for fixed/rotary wing and fast jet aircrafts, we offer an extensive range of off-the shelf products, or alternatively can partner with our customers to provide customised solutions where required. Available in a number of different sizes, our collection of fully accredited liferafts has accumulated years of valuable in-service experience with a number of the world’s air forces and government agencies.
We also offer a single seat liferaft uniquely designed for single person occupancy for when minimal weight and stowage are critical for aircraft operation. The fully packed liferaft is so compact it can be stowed in confined areas such as a cockpit, or alternatively can be worn attached to the user during flight ensuring easy accessibility during aircraft evacuation. We are the sole supplier of the Single Seat Liferaft (RFD LRU23P) to the US Navy NACES program and we are currently actively developing solutions for the next generation of fighter and trainer aircraft, including JSF, EF2000 (Typhoon), JPATS and T-38.
Military Personnel Life Preservers
Life Preservers are possibly one of the most important pieces of equipment for military personnel when travelling on any vessel or aircraft. Survitec have a long heritage in the manufacture of life preservers, with a specialist range suitable for a number of different mission types, from maritime naval operations, to modern war fighter pilots and front and rear crew in attack helicopters.
Each life preserver has been designed specifically to optimise user performance and readiness. This includes specialist life preservers with complete armoured torso protection, designed for fast jets to fully optimise pilot/cockpit integration during ejection, with unique environmental fabrics for protection from cold water immersion and extreme heat and with a fully inflatable compact, lightweight design compete with parachute.
Our range of life preservers are currently in service in a large number of the world's naval fleets and airforces on various platforms such as the Chinook, Apache, Puma, Hawk, Harrier and Tornado.
