Accident happens Beacon is activated Beacon acquires GPS fix How EPIRBs and PLBs work Accident happens Beacon is activated Beacon acquires GPS fix Beacon transmits to satellites on 406MHz and locally on 121.5MHz

Alerts are passed by the satellite to the Local Cospas-Sarsat Alerts are passed by the satellite to the Local User Terminal (LUT), then on to the Mission Control Centre (MCC) and finally to the Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC) – Coastguard services who coordinate the rescue. Global coverage through two sets of satellites, in both geo-synchronous and polar orbits . www.cospas-sarsat.org

Radar SART: Search and rescue transponder Definitions: Radar SART: Search and rescue transponder AIS SART: Search and rescue transmitter Why two definitions for one acronym? Radar SARTs have been in production for years, as a key part of any SOLAS-compliant vessel. AIS SARTs are new (2010) and can be used in place of Radar SARTs

9GHz X-band Radar SART A manual deployment device designed for use in a liferaft, to enable radar-equipped vessels to home in to the liferaft A Radar SART ‘listens’, dormant, for an incoming radar signal. When it receives one it sends a high-powered burst which paints a strong image on the radar which was detected by the SART

The message list also shows the words SART ACTIVE AIS SART Also designed to be used in a liferaft, the AIS SART transmits a special signal to every AIS-equipped vessel in radio range The SART’s code number, position, course and speed (tidal drift) can be seen on AIS displays. The message list also shows the words SART ACTIVE The AIS SART signal is less susceptible to rain & sea clutter than a radar SART, as it operates at a lower frequency (longer wave length)

The system needs to be integrated to existing technology on board to Coming Soon... There is a growing need for a better MOB recovery system that aids in the local recovery of a victim The system needs to be integrated to existing technology on board to avoid additional cost

Why not a PLB? A PLB is the obvious answer to this Need. It is low cost and small and will alert the global emergency services when operated. However, it will not alert the victim’s vessel to immediately aid rapid local recovery.

Again, there’s the problem of the time delay. Why not a Satellite Phone? Again, there’s the problem of the time delay. The key to successful MOB alerting is the speed at which the mother vessel can be made aware of the casualty in the water.

The Solution A personal AIS transmitter that can be worn on a lifejacket or survival suit, which will alert the vessel of the MOB alert through its existing navigation system, and transmit the casualty’s position regularly.

Transmits continuously for 24 hours SafeLink R10 SRS - Key Features Transmits Lat/Long, a unique ID, plus course & speed (drift of MOB) to any AIS-enabled plotter or radar within VHF range Transmits continuously for 24 hours 2-step manual activation, or semi-automatic activation when integrated into a lifejacket by a lifejacket manufacturer Flashing LED light

SRS is supplied with two methods of attachment to a lifejacket: SafeLink R10 SRS - Fitting to a lifejacket SRS is supplied with two methods of attachment to a lifejacket: Webbing attachment... ...or Oral Tube attachment, which is left- and right-handed
