Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB)
New Performance Standard Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon.
EPIRBs are devices that send distress signals when a vessel is in a critical situation, notifying ground stations in each country about the emergency. Distress signals are transmitted to ground stations via Cospas-Sarsat satellites, enabling the identification of the vessel's name and the precise location of the distress signal with AIS and GNSS.
