Source summary
Develop a mass rescue and recovery system for disasters at sea using rapidly deployable inflatable life rafts. The source seeks faster recovery than repeated individual lifting or climbing ship sides. Rafts should be deployable from aircraft or surface vessels, carry roughly 24–32 people, connect into larger sections, permit easy boarding and lifting, and comply with SOLAS requirements.
