ROYAL NAVY CENTRE
OF MARITIME TRAINING


  • AHR HAS DEVELOPED AND DELIVERED THE DESIGN FOR THE NEW ROYAL NAVY CENTRE OF MARITIME SERE (SURVIVE EVADE RESIST ESCAPE) AND UNDERWATER ESCAPE TRAINING (RNCMSUET) IN YEOVILTON. THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE UK, THE HELICOPTER TRAINING FACILITY PROVIDES SURVIVAL TRAINING IN THE EVENT OF A HELICOPTER INCIDENT OR ACCIDENT OVER THE WATER.

  • The new world-class facility replaces the previous existing Underwater Escape Training Unit (UETU) which was no longer adequate as it lacked capacity and was not suitable for amphibious vehicle training. AHR redesigned the scheme to provide a more practical, robust and cost-effective solution allowing the training programme, in its entirety, to take place in one space, in one day.

  • Three new pools allow personnel to be trained in the procedures to follow in the event of an aircraft hitting water and sinking below the surface. To ensure the training is fully representative of all the elements that might be faced within a real situation, the facility is capable of simulating full climatic conditions – wind, rain, waves, darkness, as well as simulating a 2 metre swell.

    Other areas within the facility includes storage areas to accommodate dunker modules for Royal Navy Maritime aircraft types and Royal Marine amphibious vehicles, classrooms, a demonstration area, changing rooms, reception, offices and breakout areas along with associated storage and plant areas.
