KANNAD has completed its world renowned range of Kannad 406 Epirbs with the RESCUER Sart in order to fulfil GMDSS carriage requirements (Global Maritime Distress and safety System). The RESCUER Sart (Search and Rescue Radar Transponder) is a very simple 9 GHz receiver/transmitter which provides a position. The fundamental function of the SART is to indicate its position by producing range and bearing information on any 9 GHz radar screen (with no modification). The SART code displayed on the radar screen is a series of dots extending radially outwards from the location of the transponder. The series of dots represents a range of approximately 10 nautical miles. This indication is an internationnally accepted signal for Search And Rescue operations.
