This AGARDograph provides the latest worldwide statistics on survivability from a helicopter ditching. It concludes that the persistent 15% fatality rate is basically caused by drowning. The principal cause of drowning is due to inability to breath-hold long enough to make an escape. The provision of some form of Emergency Breathing System (EBS), whether a re-breather or compressed air unit, would extend the time underwater and hence improve survivability. The development of such units since the Second World War are described, and current available units are included to aid NATO and PfP Nations to review their choice. The importance of producing a course training package prior to the introduction of any new EBS into service is presented. Two examples are specifically cited. Finally, a summary is made of the current EBS situation as we enter into the 21st Century.
