Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) S A R S A T

In short, Cospas-Sarsat takes the “search” out of Search & Rescue What is Cospas-Sarsat??? COSPAS = Cosmicheskaya Systyema Poiska Aariynyich Sudov Which loosely translates into: “The Space System for the Search of Vessels in Distress” SARSAT = Search And Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking In short, Cospas-Sarsat takes the “search” out of Search & Rescue

Emergency Beacons Two types: 406 MHz 121.5/243 MHz (121.5 MHz EPIRBs are prohibited as of 01Jan07) Three applications: - Emergency Position Indication Radio Beacons (EPIRB) - Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELT) - Personal Locator Beacons (PLB)

Personal Locator Beacons (PLB) General Characteristics Small and lightweight Manually activated Watertight Contains transmitter, antenna, and battery. - GPS receiver (optional) Tested at international and national levels

Personal Locator Beacons (PLB) International (Cospas-Sarsat) Specifications Transmit at 406.028 MHz 5 W output Temperature range Storage: - 67F to + 158F (Class 1) Operating: - 40F to + 131F (Class 1) Storage: - 22F to + 158F (Class 2) Operating: - 4F to + 131F (Class 2) 24 hours duration

Personal Locator Beacons (PLB) National (RTCM) Specifications Floatation - Category 1: Must float in water - Category 2: Not required to float 121.5 MHz homing with Morse-code “P” identifier Self-test function

Personal Locator Beacons (PLB) Identification Information Encoded into beacon: - Manufacturer, model, serial number - Category - GPS position (optional) Registration database: - Owner, address, telephone - Application (e.g., hiking, canoeing) - Emergency points of contact - Additional information

Personal Locator Beacons (PLB) Performance As Demonstrated in Alaska (1995-2002) Cause of Activation Number Percent Distress Activation 154 85 Non-Distress Activation 14 8 Undetermined 12 7 Total Activation 180 100 Total Rescues: 226
