- Abstract
- COSPAS-SARSAT system which consists of space segment and ground segment provides a distress alert and the position information for a distressed ship or airplane with beacon equipment. Currently, COSPAS-SARSAT system provides the LEOSAR service which is called to the first generation, and the GEOSAR service as the next generation. The GEOSAR service provides position accuracy better than the LEOSAR service because the next generation search and rescue(SAR) beacon allows for the encoding of position data in the transmitted message, thus providing for quasi-real time alerts and position information through the GEOSAR service. ETRI developed Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon(EPIRB) as the next generation search and rescue beacon for use in maritime applications. In this paper, the development and the test of the next generation EPIRB developed by ETRI are presented.
