Dräger RBD 5000

Dräger advanced diving equipment: Dive deeper, safer and smarter

Highlights

The RBD 5000 is a modular carrying system for military closed-circuit diving apparatus. It serves as an all-in-one buoyancy, body protection and emergency ascent system. For personal ballistic protection, the carrying system can be detached from the plate carrier, making boarding significantly easier.

Carrying system for Dräger closed-circuit diving apparatus

The RBD 5000 is a carrying system for all closed-circuit diving apparatus in the Dräger LAR family. Buckles attach the diving apparatus to the vest. These buckles are individually adjustable, ensuring the apparatus fits comfortably.

Buoyancy system

To regulate and tare buoyancy at any depth, the RBD 5000 serves as a complete buoyancy system, with built-in inflator and inflator hose. The buoyancy compensator is made of PU-coated polyamide, with a volume of 14 liters for a safe, controlled dive.

Emergency ascent system

The RBD 5000 can be used as an emergency ascent system. The PU-coated polyamide ascent system is independent of the buoyancy system, offering buoyancy of 450 N with activation via a manual trigger mechanism. The emergency ascent system ensures a safe face-up position on the surface. The system is filled via the two built-in CO2 cartridges. The trigger mechanism is located on the front side for easy access.

Weight system

The RBD 5000 includes a system of detachable weights. This system can be equipped with up to 10 kg of weight (10 x 1 kg/5 x 2 kg weights). The weights can be detached via an easy-access, forward-facing trigger mechanism.

Configuration options

The carrying system is highly flexible in use. Additional accessories enable the user to adjust the RBD 5000 to the exact requirements of the planned mission. On the back, for example, the weight system can be replaced with a MOLLE equipment carrier, or both options can be omitted to attach additional equipment. There is also the option of attaching an additional nitrox tank.
