Death at Sea: Dismantling the Spanish Search and Rescue System

The article presents brief results of the analysis of the subscriber segment of the international space search and rescue system COSPAS-SARSAT. Proposals on the nomenclature of emergency subscriber emergency terminals and direction finders are presented, which are necessary for development and production in batch production in Russia, in order to prevent a backlog in this area and to implement the import substitution program. The recommendations are developed taking into account the materials discussed at the working technical groups, the Joint Committee and the COSPAS-SARSAT Council in recent years, as well as the results of the technical analysis of the nomenclature of terminals produced and developed by foreign companies. In addition, the development of recommendations takes into account the main current and prospective directions for the development of Russia's economy and industry.

The Subject

The article introduces a short outline of the concept of a scientific approach to the subject of search and rescue. Next, the model presents the mapping of selected assets with an indication of the assets essential for the rescue operation's configuration critical to the system. The crucial elements of the rescue operation that must be included in the model are: determining the location of the sought entity, environmental conditions during the rescue operation, survival conditions at the crash site, available assets (e.g. helicopters, described in the system model), the structure of the necessary commands to manage a rescue operation.

Getting Lost

This chapter presents the design and development of a search and rescue (SAR) system, for the location and provision of aid to people who are missing or in imminent danger, especially those belonging to population groups with a particularly high probability of getting lost. With the use of low-power wide area network (LPWAN) technology, such as narrow band internet of things (NB-IoΤ), the authors are able to provide search and rescue solutions for individuals, especially those belonging to groups of people who are more likely to get lost. The central part of the system is a modular “wearable (portable)” device, while in the framework of the implementation of this system, the authors have seriously taken into consideration the aspects of energy efficiency in order to provide better battery life.
