Kannad Emergency beacon Epirb Safepro Ais Plus

The Cospas-Sarsat EPIRB KANNAD SafePro AIS Plus AUTOMATIC satellite beacon combines innovation and technology for safety at sea.

This next-generation EPIRB uses GNSS location receivers and is fully MEOSAR compatible, allowing for greater location accuracy and faster alert transmission.

In addition to satellite transmission, the beacon emits target data and AIS man-overboard alerts.

GNSS? MEOSAR? WHAT IS IT?

Cospas-Sarsat is currently modernizing its system by placing search and rescue receivers (i.e., repeaters or transponders) aboard new navigation satellites operated by the United States (GPS), Russia (Glonass), which began its rollout last year, and Europe (Galileo), which started its launches on October 12, 2012.

Once operationally qualified, this expansion of the system will significantly improve the speed of detection and location accuracy of beacons: (GNSS receivers = GPS + Galileo ** + GLONASS = 72 receivers compared to 12 GPS previously).

These satellites are placed in orbit around the Earth at altitudes between 19,000 km and 23,000 km, which is considered a medium-altitude orbit.

This component of the Cospas-Sarsat System is called MEOSAR, which stands for medium Earth orbit satellites for search and rescue.

It will complement the existing LEOSAR and GEOSAR systems.

Once fully operational, the MEOSAR system will offer the advantages of the LEOSAR and GEOSAR systems without their current limitations, transmitting the distress message and providing its location independently, with near real-time global coverage.

The MEOSAR system also brings other improvements for Cospas-Sarsat beacons, such as a return transmission to the beacons that will confirm to users that the alert message has been received.

** Galileo has been increasing its capacity since 2016, aiming to reach its full operational constellation in 2018/9.
