Submarine Escape Immersion Equipment (SEIE)

Submarine Escape Immersion Equipment (SEIE) is safety gear designed for submariners to escape safely from a sinking submarine at certain depths. It typically includes a helmet, suit, and breathing apparatus, allowing crew members to breathe, stay dry, and navigate to the surface during a controlled escape. The SEIE provides thermal protection and buoyancy, helping crew members ascend through water safely until they reach the surface or are rescued. It is a crucial safety system, enabling crew members to evacuate from compromised submarines while minimizing risks associated with deep-sea escape.
