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.

Download or read book Selection of Packet Switched Facilities for the Search and Rescue Communications Network Based on Performance written by Brian K. Livie and published by . 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.
Download or read book Satellite Search and Rescue System Studies Alarm and Position Reporting written by E. Kamiya and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A possible role for satellites in search and rescue (SAR) operations was investigated. This effort involved a review of SAR requirements, spaceborne alarm and position reporting (ALPR) techniques, and the operational or planned spacecraft which might be available for piggybacking the ALPR payload. Several system concepts were then developed to perform the ALPR functions. The candidates were screened and the preferred system concepts were chosen for their effectiveness in saving lives and their relative costs. The preferred system concepts were: a three geostationary satellite OPLE concept and a five polar satellite Range/Range concept.

Download or read book Satellites for Distress Alerting and Locating written by and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses the background behind the congressional legislation that led to the requirement for the Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) and the Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) to be installed on certain types of aircraft and inspected marine vessels respectively. The distress alerting and locating (DAL) problem is discussed for existing ELT and EPIRB equipped aircraft and ships. Alternative concepts to improve the current situation did not address other facets of Search and Rescue (SAR) operations such as communications with SAR forces through geosynchronous satellites. It is recognized that the DAL requirement for Continental United States (CONUS) and Alaska and the maritime regions are not identical. In order to address the serious DAL problem which currently exists on CONUS and Alaska, a low-orbiting satellite system evolves as the most viable and cost effective alternative that satisfies the overall SAR system design requirements. A satellite System designed to meet the needs of the maritime regions could be either low orbiting or geostationary. The conclusions drawn from this report support the recommendation to proceed with the implementation of a SAR orbiting satellite system. (Author).
Download or read book A 406 MHz Global Positioning System Emergency Location Transmitter for Search and Rescue Satellite Operations written by K. P. Maine and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SARSAT (Search and Rescue Satellite) has demonstrated the use of 121.5/243.0 MHz beacons to locate the victims of aircraft and marine accidents. An experimental 406 MHz Emergency Location Transmitter (ELT) has been developed by NASA allowing a digital message containing identification and timing information as an alternative to the tone modulation signal provided on the 121.5/243.0 MHz ELT. Utilization of Global Positioning System (GPS) information with the 406 MHz ELT could greatly enhance the accuracy of the SARSAT system by including GPS position coordinates within the digital message. Location accuracies of less than 100 meters could be provided worldwide, which is ten times better than that available with the experimental 406 MHz ELT. (Author).
