What type of operation does the FADS3 primarily support?

The FADS3 (Family of Diver Augmented Systems 3) primarily supports chamber operations and dive missions because it is designed to provide a comprehensive surface-supplied diving system that can accommodate various operational needs. These systems facilitate deep-sea diving operations, allowing divers to remain at significant depths for extended periods while receiving support from surface personnel.

The configuration of the FADS3 allows for simultaneous support operations during diving missions, ensuring divers can operate safely and efficiently under the specific environmental conditions experienced in underwater environments. This capability is crucial for chamber operations, where precise control over atmospheric conditions is needed to prevent issues like decompression sickness.

By focusing on chamber operations and dive missions, the FADS3 emphasizes the critical elements of safety, communication, and operational effectiveness required in demanding underwater tasks.
