The Cospas-Sarsat satellite distress beacon EPIRB McMurdo G8 AIS Plus combines innovation and technology for safety at sea. This next-generation EPIRB uses GNSS location receivers and is fully compatible with MEOSAR, allowing for greater location accuracy and faster alert transmission. In addition to satellite transmission, the beacon emits target data and AIS man overboard alerts.

Night vision 3 LED I/R GNSS? MEOSAR? WHAT IS IT? Cospas-Sarsat is currently modernizing its system by placing search and rescue receivers (i.e. repeaters or transponders) aboard new navigation satellites operated by the United States (GPS), Russia (Glonass), which began its deployment last year, and Europe (Galileo), which started launching on October 12, 2012. Once operationally qualified, this system enhancement will significantly improve the detection speed and location accuracy of beacons: (GNSS receivers = GPS + Galileo ** + GLONASS = 72 receivers compared to 12 GPS previously). These satellites are placed in orbit around the Earth at altitudes between 19,000 km and 23,000 km, which is considered a medium-altitude orbit. This component of the Cospas-Sarsat System is called MEOSAR, for medium Earth orbit satellites for search and rescue. It will complement the existing LEOSAR and GEOSAR systems. Once fully operational, the MEOSAR system will offer the benefits of the LEOSAR and GEOSAR systems without their current limitations by independently transmitting distress messages and providing its location, with worldwide coverage in near real-time. The MEOSAR system also brings other enhancements for Cospas-Sarsat beacons, such as a return transmission to the beacons confirming to users that the alert message has been received. ** Galileo has been increasing its capacity since 2016, aiming to reach its full operational constellation in 2018/9.
