FIREBOAT TRAINING MANUAL 1.1:
Operation
1. EPIRB is activated either automatically via hydrostatic release or manually by
crew members.
2. Beacon transmits a 406 MHz emergency message containing your Unique
Identifier Number (UIN) to the LEOSAR (polar orbiting) and GEOSAR*
(geostationary) satellite systems.
3. The satellites relay the 406 MHz emergency message to a ground station called
the Local User Terminal (LUT). The LUT calculates the location of the signal by
measuring the Doppler shift caused by the relative movement between the satellite
and the beacon and forwards the location to the Mission Control Center (MCC).
4. The MCC continues to receive information from additional satellite passes and
further refines the beacon position (2.3 nm search radius). An alert message is
generated that is combined with the registration information from the database and
is forwarded to the appropriate Rescue Coordination Center (RCC).
5. The RCC makes contact with the persons listed in the database to verify the
existence of an emergency and gathers additional information about the beacon
users. The RCC will dispatch the closest, capable Search and Rescue (SAR) forces.
6. Local SAR forces launch a rescue mission and use the 121.5 MHz homing
signal to pinpoint the beacon.
