🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) primary purpose • Which satellite system is designed specifically for distress alerting and SAR (search and rescue) • Difference between systems used for navigation/communication vs. those dedicated to distress beacons (EPIRBs)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which option is best known for detecting and locating EPIRB and emergency beacons worldwide? • Which systems on the list are mainly for general communication or navigation, not specifically for distress beacon detection? • Under GMDSS, which satellite system is directly tied to the 406 MHz distress alerting function?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which system is part of the international satellite-aided search and rescue system. • Separate the systems that provide navigation (position-finding) from those focused on distress alerting. • Verify which option is described in GMDSS materials as being dedicated to SAR rather than just commercial communications.
