Groton ― Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Survival Systems USA pivoted.

A leader in training the military, law enforcement and the aviation industry in water safety and survival, the company added the then-fledgling offshore wind industry to its client base just as COVID-19 was shutting things down.

Since 2020, it’s now trained more than 1,500 people working for members of the Global Wind Organization, a nonprofit association of wind turbine manufacturers and renewable energy developers. The demand for Survival Systems’ services keeps growing.
