Understanding the MEOSAR Ecosystem
MEOSAR Improvements Better Accuracy, Timeliness and Reliability In the next few years Cospas Sarsat will be rolling out a new search and rescue infrastructure known as MEOSAR. When fully deployed the aim is: Determine beacon location within 5km, 95% of the time, within 10 minutes.
t
- 72 MEOSAR satellites positioned at Medium Earth Orbit altitude
t
- Near instantaneous beacon signal detection using bent pipe technology – average 46 minutes faster compared to LEOSAR
t
- Reduced response times with multiple signal bursts to improve speed and accuracy of location calculation
t
- Close to 100% reliability due to multiple antenna systems and MEOLUT networking
t
- When fully operational next generation beacons will also have a return link signal through Galileo satellites · Acknowledge signal receipt · Control beacon – remotely activate, turn off or confirm false alarm
t
- Lives are already being saving with the early operational MEOSAR through faster alerts and greater accuracy, for example in Australia where McMurdo has just finished MEOSAR ground infrastructure installation.
