The model SAR-9 SART(Search And Rescue Radar Transponder) has been designed to meet the standards of GMDSS as a small-sized & light radar transponder for search & rescue and it provides the accurate information on the position of any life boats, life rafts and the mother ship in disaster.
When it catches a 9GHz radar signal, it informs people in distress of approaching rescue with its blue lamps and at the same time, transmits reply to SAR craft. The reply signal appears in the radar display with the data originating at the location of the SART to facilitate the process of search and rescue.
According to the IMO regulations, any ships more than 300 gross tonnage but less than 500 gross tonnage should be equipped at least with 1(one) SARTs for search and rescue. Ships of 500 gross tounage and more should be equipped at least with 2 SART.
For the installation on the inside of survival rafts, life boats and wall sides of mother ships, the equipment includes a rod mount, a fixing ring, a bracket mount etc.
