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 What is Cospas-Sarsat??? In short, Cospas-Sarsat takes the “search” out of Search & Rescue

Emergency Beacons Two types: 121.5/243 MHz and 406 MHz 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 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 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 ( ) Cause of ActivationNumberPercent Distress Activation15485 Non-Distress Activation148 Undetermined127 Total Activation Total Rescues: 226
