Airborne Beacon Monitor

Description

Airborne real time 406MHz Cospas-Sarsat beacon monitor is specially designed to be installed on aircrafts for 406MHz emergency radio beacon signals detection, reception, verifying, decoding and positioning. The device can be connected to other devices by means of ARNIC.

Airborne real time 406MHz Cospas-Sarsat beacon monitor is a wide range  signal decoder designed to locate and verify emergency distress signals sent by any 406MHz ELT in local search area.

Monitor provides monitoring and processing of signal from any 406MHz beacon, emergency locator transmitter (ELT), or crash position indicator/automatically deployable emergency locator transmitter (CPI/ADELT).

Integrated rescue operation facility

It is important to detect and locate promptly the crashed aircraft and downed aircrew. At present the 406MHz beacons, including those with built-in GPS, are worldwide required to be installed on any aircraft. The 406MHZ beacons are used by land or airborne search and rescue forces to perform immediate rescue operation.

The Airborne real time 406MHz Cospas-Sarsat beacon monitor should be used as integrated rescue operation facility in case of distress to preform it in most immediate and efficient way.

System provides the direct detection and signal location by mobile land teams or airborne rescue forces.

Specification / Features

Receiver has an option to detect and receive any signals on the frequency of 406 MHz: from 406, 022 to 406, 060MHz. It means that it covers all Cospas-Sarsat range and any beacon signal will be well received including any new manufactured beacons operating on new C/S frequencies.
