From alert to field response

Alerted through SARSAT. Connected directly to the beacon.

The SARSAT system detects the distress signal and routes the alert to the appropriate rescue authority. Once deployed, a field team equipped with Overwatch406 can receive the 406 MHz transmission directly from the beacon sending the signal while continuing to work in coordination with the responsible authority.

Briefings and basic equipment familiarization.
