This book was released on 1987 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the findings of the U.S. Coast Guard's two year demonstration and evaluation (D & E) of the COSPAS/SARSAT satellite aided search and rescue system for locating distressed vessels and aircraft, a cooperative project of the US, USSR, France, and Canada. The report summarizes results of controlled tests and exercises; analyzes SARSAT's role in actual distress cases; discusses operations of the system's radio beacons, satellites, Coast Guard Rescue Coordination Centers, U.S. Mission Control Center, Local User Terminals, and ground communications; appraises the system's long term economic costs and benefits; and assesses achievement of project objectives. Results indicate that the COSPAS/SARSAT system increased the role of radio beacons in search and rescue cases and provided key information in locating more than one third of Coast Guard ELT/EPIRB distress cases during the D & E, resulting in the rescue of 74 persons. Keywords: Search and Rescue; Satellite Aided Tracking; Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon; Emergency Locator Transmitter; Image Rejection; Alarm Rates.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since September of 1982, survivors of aircraft and maritime disasters have been aided by a revolutionary new satellite system that has enabled search and rescue forces to locate, within hours and with relative pinpoint accuracy, ships and aircraft in distress. This system, known as COSPAS/SARSAT (Space System for Search of Vessels in Distress / Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking), combines the research efforts of several nations which began independent development of the idea in the early 1970's. Canada's Department of Communication (DOC), France's Centre National D'etudes of Spatiales (CNES), the United States' National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the Soviet Union's Ministry of Merchant Marine (MORFLOT) make up the present partners in this joint venture of satellite-aided search and rescue.
