The Quantum 2000, developed jointly with Ocean Works International Corp. and the US Navy is an evolution of the Newt Suit to meet US Navy requirements. The Quantum 2000 provides increased depth capability for the US Navy's Submarine Rescue Program. Manufactured from forged T6061 aluminum alloy it uses an advanced articulating joint design based on the Newt Suit joints. Capable of operating in up to 2000 feet of seawater for a normal mission of up to six hours it has a self contained, automatic life support system. Additionally, the integrated dual thruster system allows the pilot to navigate easily underwater.

In 2006 the Quantum 2000, became fully operational and certified by the US Navy during full depth diving off southern California. The existing US Navy program has four Quantum 2000 Suits and three self erecting Launch and Recovery Systems. The system is designed to fly away to a rescue site on various military and commercial aircraft."
