S100 Radar SART

The Ocean Signal SafeSea S100 Radar Search and Rescue Transponder or Radar SART is a critical component of maritime safety equipment, designed to enhance visibility and aid in search and rescue operations. With its advanced radar reflector technology, this beacon ensures your vessel is easily detectable even in adverse weather conditions and low visibility situations. Compact and durable, the S100 Radar SART is easy to deploy and highly reliable, offering peace of mind for sailors and boaters alike. Whether navigating busy shipping lanes or sailing in remote waters, the Ocean Signal SafeSea S100 Radar SART is an essential addition to any vessel’s safety gear, ensuring swift and effective response in emergency situations.

The SeaSafe S100 SART is designed to assist in the rescue and recovery of liferafts and survival craft. When switched on, the SART remains in a standby mode until automatically activated by an X Band Radar sweep from any vessel in the vicinity. The SafeSea S100 transmits a series of pulses which are displayed on the ship’s Radar as a line of dots, providing a bearing to the survival craft.
