1.1.4 Added value in the EPIRB
The EPIRB module has been designed to operate with the
COSPAS-SARSAT system and will enhance further the lifesaving
capabilities of conventional beacons. An integrated 12 channel GPS
module accepts continuous positional information from the
standard GPS system using 27 satellites providing an accuracy of
approximately 100m.Upon activation of the Capsule in an
emergency situation the positional information is incorporated into
the distress message transmitted to LUT.
The main advantage with integrated GPS in the EPIRB is the rapid
response and positional accuracy providing vital information during
a rescue operation practically eliminating valuable time spent
searching for the distressed. Whenever a distress message
transmitted by the EPIRB is detected by a polar orbit satellite
(LEOSAR) the delayed alert remains the same as for non-GPS
integrated EPIRB`s (max.90 min.), but the position accuracy is
improved considerably from a radius of 5 km. to amazing 100m.
Whenever a distress message transmitted by the EPIRB is detected
by geostationary satellite (GEOSAR) the alert is immediate (max.5
min.), still providing the accurate position of 100m. Please note
that the positional accuracy delay is depending on the actual
protocol used and programmed into the EPIRB and the location of
the emergency. The information is based on the capacity of the
LEOSAR/GEOSAR COSPAS-SARSAT system.
