🔍 Key Concepts

• Inmarsat-C Distress alert formats and what information fields are contained in the alert • The role of the Land Earth Station (LES) and Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC) in processing digital distress alerts • How a system can automatically distinguish between distress, urgency, safety, and test messages

💭 Think About

• When a digital distress alert is sent, what kind of information or flags can be embedded in the message structure itself? • Which options would require continuous human intervention for every single alert worldwide, and which could be handled automatically by the system design? • If you were designing this system for global use, how would you ensure that test alerts do not trigger full-scale SAR (search and rescue) responses?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look for any reference in the options to a specific identifier or flag within the message itself • Consider whether global SAR operations could realistically depend on manual verification for every Inmarsat-C distress alert • Eliminate any choices that suggest RCCs are unable to distinguish between real and test transmissions, and think if that would be safe or practical
