Defense

Military and naval decompression

OpenDeco catalogues and analyses lawfully public military and naval decompression models, tables, trials, procedures and outcome data.

Scope

The defense programme is limited to lawfully public or appropriately licensed material. Classification, access restrictions and missing primary data are recorded as evidence boundaries, not filled with inference.

  • Public naval decompression tables and procedures
  • NEDU and other publicly released experimental work
  • Air, nitrox and mixed-gas decompression
  • Deep-stop and ascent-strategy trials
  • Oxygen and prebreathe interactions where relevant to decompression
  • Repetitive exposure studies
  • Model-development lineage
  • Publicly releasable operational outcome evidence

Explore

What the defense programme asks

  1. Which military tables and procedures can be reproduced from public primary material without guesswork?
  2. What did public experimental programmes actually test, and what claims are stronger than the underlying data?
  3. Where do military procedures differ because of mission constraints rather than decompression theory alone?
  4. Which influential public trials remain difficult to reanalyse because incident-level or profile-level data are unavailable?
