100/700/900 Series Diving Systems
Drass's core range of complete saturation and surface diving systems, running from the entry-level 100 Series to the modular 900 Series used for deep commercial and military dives. The compact Minisat variant packages the same saturation technology into a smaller footprint for vessels with limited deck space.
SAVER Submarine Rescue System
A transportable submarine rescue system co-developed with Saipem, pairing a remotely operated vehicle with a rescue capsule that retrieves survivors from a stranded submarine. It deploys from a vessel of opportunity or a dedicated mother ship and was selected by the Italian Navy for its new SDO-SuRS submarine rescue ship.
DSRV ST-230 / ST-236
Diving submarine rescue vessels built in deep (ST-230) and ultra-deep (ST-236) configurations, designed to carry rescue systems to a disabled submarine and support extended underwater operations.
MRSV Multipurpose Rescue and Salvage Vessel
A 25-metre vessel built for rescue and salvage missions, combining diving support with recovery capability in a single hull.
DGK Compact Submarine
A small submarine built for stealth operations in shallow water, designed to evade sonar detection while keeping offensive capability closer to that of a deep-sea submarine. Used for covert intelligence and strike missions in coastal zones.
DS8 Swimmer Delivery Vehicle
A submersible that carries up to eight combat divers to a target area, giving special forces and naval units a covert way to insert personnel close to shore.

About

Drass designs and manufactures underwater technology for navies, special forces and commercial diving operators, spanning submarine rescue systems, saturation diving equipment and hyperbaric medical chambers. The company traces its roots to 1927, when Roberto Galeazzi founded the business that pioneered spherical diving suits capable of reaching greater depths than the cylindrical designs common at the time. Drass Group is headquartered in Livorno, Italy, with its registered office in Rome.
