 | SART Course (Radar-SART opposite to the new one AIS-SART ) is designed to be used in lifeboats and life rafts. Easy mounting on vessel bulkheads. SART (search and rescue radar transponder) is indented for use in search and rescue operations. SART Course gives the exact location of the distressed indicated on the radar X-band display of any nearby ship, SAR vessels and aircrafts. Complies with IMO/SOLAS/GMDSS regulations. MED approved. SART Course has wheel-mark, type approval of Russian and Ukrainian Register of Shipping. |
SART is more cost effective version of the required SART ship equipment. There is also AIS SART – which operates on two frequencies for more precise distress point display by AIS equipment – both class A and B). The SART operates in the band of 9-Ghz and begins to transmit emergency signal when interrogated by a 9-GHz radar from an approaching vessel or aircraft.
The SART Course has a visual indication of the radar signals reception. It operates for a minimum period of 96 hours in the stand-by mode plus 8 hours of continuous operation when interrogated by a radar. Using SART Course pay particular attention on its above sea level position and provide true-vertical mounting for the device. This provides more sufficient operation of the device: range of action increases to 30 miles (for a plane) and to 15-18 (for vessels)!
Many commercial ships are required by IMO regulations to carry at least 2 SARTs, which must be carried to the lifecrafts when ship abandoning . When any rescue vessel with a marine X-band radar (9.2 to 9.5GHz) comes within 7 miles of the lifecraft, the SART generates a line of 12 radial dots on its radar display, clearly indicating a distress situation and the position of the lifecraft.
