The concept of development of the Navy search and rescue system has been approved

August 12 marks the 14th anniversary of the death of the Kursk submarine. On the anniversary of this tragedy, the Department of Defense announced its new plans for naval development. fleet, namely its rescue services. According to the official publication of the department, the main command of the Navy and the Military Training and Scientific Center of the Navy (VSC Navy) "Naval Academy" have developed a concept for the development of search and rescue support system of the Navy. The document has already been approved by the Minister of Defense, Army General Sergei Shoigu.

The document signed by the Minister determines the main directions of development of the Navy search and rescue service. It stipulates plans for the construction of rescue vessels, means of assisting ships, uninhabited and inhabited underwater vehicles, as well as the development and updating of the system of training rescue specialists. All these measures are designed to improve the capabilities of rescue units and increase the safety of combat and training work of the Navy’s seamen.

The press service of the Ministry of Defense quotes the head of the Navy search and rescue service, Damir Shaikhutdinov, who believes that by the level of development of rescue means and technologies of the Russian Navy is currently at the level of world standards, and in some areas is the world leader. For example, one of the most developed areas is the construction of habitable underwater vehicles. The latest developments in this field are not inferior in their characteristics and capabilities to modern foreign analogues.

Already we are actively working on the construction and testing of new rescue equipment. So, tests of the Bester-1 rescue deep-water craft of the 18271 project developed at the Lazurit Design Bureau and built by the Admiralty Shipyards are now being completed. According to reports, this device is able to perform assigned tasks at depths up to 700 m. It will be able to evacuate people from sunken submarines, as well as to ensure the work of divers.

The carrier "Bester-1" will be the rescue ship "Igor Belousov" project 21300. The construction of this vessel began at the end of the year 2005 and it is currently undergoing mooring trials. Vessel service will begin in 2014-15. Over the next few months, it is planned to order the second ship of the 21300 project, which will also be able to carry the deepwater craft of the 18271 project.

In addition to the rescue ships of the 21300 project, in the coming years, the navy will receive 10 ships and boats of similar purpose. By the end of this year, the Pella plant in St. Petersburg should complete the construction of two rescue vessels, and in addition, the fleet will receive 6 boats for integrated rescue support of 23040 and 23370 projects being built by Nizhny Novgorod Shipbuilding Company and KAMPO. In addition, Astrakhan Shipyard completed the construction of the ship X-NUMX project SB-45.

In accordance with the previously established schedule, the modernization of the existing equipment continues. Currently, repairs and upgrades are undergoing rescue vehicles of the “Prize” type. The modernization of the underwater vehicle АС-30, which has recently been successfully tested with a dive to the depth of 1000 m, and now continues to serve in the Pacific Fleet, has been completed. Also, the upgrade was the machine AC-26. The Northern Fleet handed over for the repair of the device AC-34. Simultaneously with the repair and renewal of underwater vehicles, the onboard equipment of their carrier vessels is being upgraded.

As part of the development of search and rescue facilities, it is planned to develop several new projects in the future. One of the most relevant areas in this area are remotely controlled underwater Robotscapable of operating at great depths. The second promising direction is robotic control systems for manned underwater vehicles. It is expected that the emergence of ships with a dynamic positioning system will be a breakthrough in the field of rescue robotics.

On the basis of the diving school of the Black Sea Fleet (the city of Sevastopol) a Training Center for the training of military rescuers and diving specialists is being created. This organization is a structural unit of the Joint Training Center of the Navy. Black Sea Higher Naval School named after PS Nakhimov began training diver specialists. In addition, the system of training specialists at the VUNC Navy has been maintained and updated.

The press service of the Ministry of Defense notes that the priority is to supply parts of the Black Sea Fleet. It is these units that will be the first to receive new rescue vessels, boats and underwater vehicles. The first results of this update were shown during the events held on the Navy Day, when the modular rescue boat of the 23370 project appeared in the Sevastopol Bay.

In parallel with the construction of new equipment and the training of specialists, the command of the Navy plans to conduct rescue training. Next week's planned exercises rescuers of the Northern Fleet. The event will be attended by a strategic submarine and one of the rescue vessels. According to the exercise scenario, a conditional accident will occur on the submarine, due to which it will need help. The crew of the submarine will work out leaving the ship in distress through torpedo tubes. During this episode of the exercise, rescuers should use the Kubyshka diving transport rescue pressure chamber. This device will be used to assist submariners with a barotrauma.

The report on the planned exercises cites the words of the chief of staff of the Northern Fleet, Vice-Admiral Nikolai Evmenov, who notes that such events can prepare the crews of submarines and rescuers to work in extreme situations, as well as teach them to use all available rescue equipment.

A very correct and necessary thing. The fleet is not only combat units, but also the support infrastructure. And saving the lives of our guys is a priority. You can rivet a lot of iron, but you can't return the lost guys. Although at such a pace as our defense industry complex "rivets" combat units, more than one generation of sailors can be raised, but this does not mean that their lives can be scattered to the right and left.

"... the words of the head of the search and rescue service of the Navy Damir Shaikhutdinov, who believes that the level of development of rescue equipment and technologies of the Russian Navy is currently at the level of world standards, and in some areas is a world leader."
Impudent nonsense!
The whole history of the so-called. "rescue services" of the USSR-Russia - the story of how the corpses were collected.
Give an example of at least one successful rescue operation - where was everyone saved?
And always the same thing: they were afraid to report on time, the rescue ship was not ready, the "all-weather" planes could not take off, there was no key needed ...

[badger1974]

you just did not look. and so on 667 in the year 86 in March, except for Seryoga Preminin, all remained alive. and before that, on K-3 after the accident with the power plant, everyone was alive, on the famous K-19 project 658, there weren’t any crews after the accident, I can add a list, you’re just in a panic mood about submariners.
nevertheless, it is a feat after a feat, not so much about the Navy of the USSR and the Russian Federation, the star-striped and Thresher and Scorpio were with all the gear, and the bat-rouge also drowned grief. and a fishfish and what is there to say the head los angeles lost screws and people, do not vilify and pour all the muck on your head, the submariner is a vocation, he has no nationality, there is only duty

[xomaNN]

I really believe that the Russian Navy's Rescue Service will really be up to par. The past absurd situation with the Kursk nuclear submarine, when it sank during the exercises, not on the BS, next to its ships, the depth of 100 m - and could not save anyone

[Fast]

Infinitely relevant, ekranoplanes are still needed, amphibians, deep-sea schools, all this is very expensive, but life is more expensive. Specialists still remained.

[badger1974]

The specialists didn’t stay, but they were and will be, the complexity of the work in extremely harsh conditions is another matter, do not forget that foreign water companies began to work when the wave settled at two points, and even that flow continued its activity under water at 14 knots, the question is backfill, from what time did the nords meet on the aft hatch?

[Uzer 13.]

To rescue the crew, a seaplane or helicopter is required that can deliver a container with emergency equipment to the accident site. There must be a generator, compressor and winch. Air and electricity must be immediately connected to the compartments with people, otherwise they will die without waiting for the rescue vessel. This is where the fun begins: all compartments on boats should be equipped with emergency hatches and devices for supplying air and electricity from the outside. If they are not there, then who are they going to save? Most likely secret documents and electronic components, and not people at all. The boat is expensive and the crew is a hostage who either perishes with the ship or is saved with it. Then the damaged boat always lies at the bottom. with a roll and trim. For docking with the hatch, the receiver of the bathyscaphe must be made on a corrugation and be able to turn in any direction at an angle of at least 30 degrees. Have you forgotten how many days you tried to dock this unit to the Kursk? In general, they boasted of a bathyscaphe , but there are no real organizational measures to rescue the crews. For 14 years absolutely nothing has been done.

[Bayonet]

Do you remember how in 2005 it got entangled in an underwater antenna (at first it was written in poaching nets), at the bottom off the coast of Kamchatka, the AS-28 Prize rescue vehicle? Then, too, the English robot "Scorpio" helped out. Has anything changed since then?

[crambol]

tests of the rescue deep-sea vehicle "Bester-1 »

Addendum to the information:
- Bester is a Russian invention - a hybrid BEmeadows and STERlove me!

By the way, what will the hybrid be called IN ABOUTly and erasedLYADand?

[badger1974]

biologically, the wobbler with the sterlet are incompatible, but the beluga and the sterlet can very well form offspring, theoretically, although genetics and lamb can be made of lamb without sheep, but then the offspring is bad, so the beam is BESTER than dollydolls

[pinecone]

Woke up and worried. After 14 years.

The past ridiculous situation with the nuclear submarine "Kursk"

This is not an "absurd situation", but an indicative shame of our Navy !!!
Like all other "rescue operations" in the last 70 years!
And the further, the worse! Already, both technologies and equipment cannot be compared with post-war ones, but here everything is like "the first time"!
Each fleet must have one single high-speed rescue ship that can go to sea with an 8–9 point storm.
And do not care how much it will consume fuel and how much its operation will cost - the lives of our people are more valuable.
But give our "naval commanders" headquarters Mistrals - they are more needed ...

I repeat: not a single successful rescue operation over the past 70 years!

[badger1974]

You’re lying, I pointed out above, don’t make me climb into the attic, we’ll be bickering for each case, and in the end you will admit that our rescue operations are the best for submariners

[Leader]

No need to poke strangers.
And write in Russian - I do not understand illiterate slang.
You don’t have to climb into the attic - I’m in the know. It is you who need to refresh your memory, but to compare the facts.

[badger1974]

Yes, maybe you, about poking, yes, as in x. at the expense of the Mistrals, and the hedgehog is understandable that they did not fit into the stump of the Russian Federation, this is a topic for distraction of Forces and Means, the main aircraft carrier of the missile carrier and base is MY CRIMEA, and it is already in its harbor, and the Turk is simpler, and the bulgaria is on the point The Bosphorus is almost Russian, there is still a bit of soot from an Obama monkey with a dog, and there will be jurisdictions in the Balkans already in the Russian Federation, and you, you poke me such a slang, - DO NOT DOG, work on the topic, do not pay attention to typos , in the root of sight
