Hallo steemit friends all back again with me with news that I update. Today I will continue my discussion yesterday about the components of GMDSS. Well we just discuss one component of GMDSS that is EPIRB.
ONE OF THE GMDSS COMPONENTS
Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB)
Cospas-Sarsat is an international satellite that serves as the base SAR System (SARS). The satellite was founded by Canada, France, America, and Russia. These four countries merged to develop the EPIRB (which has a frequency of 406 MHz) as an element of GMDSS designed to operate using the Cospas-Sarsat system. EPIRB equipment that works automatically when the ship is in this accident (currently required by SOLAS to be used on all ships, both commercial vessels and passenger vessels) is designed to transmit signals containing the identification data of a ship's crash and location accurate ship to the nearest Rescue Coordinaion Center (RCC). The latest EPIRB designs are now coordinated with the GPS system, making it possible for receivers to be able to ensure accurate ship position.
So many of my discussions today and we will discuss again tomorrow with GMDSS component one more that is NAVTEK.
Thank you to all my steemit friends who have upvote my post.
