McMurdo S4 Rescue SART – Thiết Bị Radar SART Tìm Kiếm Cứu Nạn 9GHz X-Band

The McMurdo S4 Rescue SART is a deviceSearch And Rescue Transponder (SART)operates on the frequency9GHz X-Band, is designed to assist maritime search and rescue operations in accordance withIMO and GMDSS standards.

. The device is used to locate life rafts or survivors at sea by responding to radar signals from rescue vessels or search aircraft. When activated and receiving an X-band radar signal, the McMurdo S4 Rescue SART transmits a response signal that appears on the rescue vessel's radar screen as a series of12 equidistant lines, helping to determine the direction and location of the target for rescue. The McMurdo S4 Rescue SART is designed to be compact, waterproof, and buoyant, suitable for storage in a life raft or carrying when abandoning ship in an emergency. The McMurdo S4 Rescue SART is widely used in the maritime sector, especially on commercial vessels, cargo ships, fishing vessels, offshore service vessels, and other GMDSS-compliant vessels. In an emergency, the device is activated to assist rescue teams in locating the position of life rafts or persons in distress. When the X-band radar of a search vessel or aircraft scans the area, the SART responds with a signal that clearly displays the target's position on the radar screen. The device can operate effectively within a range of approximately

8 nautical miles (depending on radar conditions)
