SmartFind EPIRB / SART

McMurdo (jetzt Orolia Maritime, Portsmouth, UK) ist einer der führenden EPIRB/SART-Hersteller weltweit. EPIRB sendet ein 406-MHz-Notsignal über COSPAS-SARSAT-Satelliten mit GPS-Position. SART erzeugt ein Radar-Echo auf den Radarschirmen von Rettungseinheiten. SOLAS verlangt mindestens 2 EPIRB und 2 SART pro Schiff. AIS-SART (mit AIS-Signal statt 9-GHz-Transponder) ist die moderne Alternative zum konventionellen Radar-SART.
