SESE Raft

Integrated Single-Seat Liferaft for Submarine Escape

The SESE (Single-Seat Escape) Raft is an integral part of the Submarine Escape and Immersion Equipment (SEIE) suit, designed for rapid deployment in emergency submarine evacuation situations. Positioned within the SEIE suit, the SESE Raft ensures that submariners have immediate access to critical surface survival equipment after reaching the surface during an escape. Built for efficiency and reliability, the SESE Raft enhances overall survivability by offering essential buoyancy and protection in challenging maritime environments.

Performance

When underwater emergencies occur, a trusted, proven partner is essential. Our submarine escape and abandonment systems are engineered for precision, speed, and survivability, delivering reliable performance under extreme pressure and time-critical conditions. From deep escape scenarios to surface evacuation, they enable rapid, controlled responses when it matters most.

Innovation

We are continually advancing our submarine escape and abandonment capabilities to meet the evolving demands of naval operations. Through new material sciences, technological innovation and strategic partnerships, we push the boundaries of survivability — developing solutions that set new standards in performance, integration and reliability beneath the surface.

Protection

Sub-surface emergencies demand absolute confidence in protective systems. Our escape and abandonment solutions are designed to safeguard submariners from depth to recovery, delivering thermal insulation, flotation, and life-support performance under the harshest conditions. Proven through rigorous testing, they provide the protection needed when submariner survival is the priority.
