🔍 Key Concepts

• EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon) purpose and what information it sends • Difference between COSPAS-SARSAT system and GPS system roles in distress alerts • Characteristics of 406 MHz EPIRBs with built-in GPS vs older/non-GPS EPIRBs

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which system is actually responsible for detecting the beacon signal and sending the alert to rescue authorities, and which system is mainly for position-finding? • Consider whether any satellite system can truly guarantee an alert and position within a fixed, short time in all cases and worldwide coverage. • Think about what adding a GPS receiver to a 406 MHz EPIRB changes about the information that is transmitted when it activates.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which satellites are part of the COSPAS-SARSAT distress alerting network (LEO, GEO, and MEOSAR) and which are not. • Confirm what additional data a 406 MHz EPIRB with GPS sends compared to a 406 MHz EPIRB without GPS (e.g., just an ID vs. ID plus encoded position). • Check if any choice claims an absolute time guarantee or global coverage and ask whether that is realistically accurate for all situations.
