 Distress Alert Transmitter (DAT) 

Space Applications Centre of Indian Space Research Organisation at Ahmedabad

 

has developed Distress Alert Transmitter (DAT) which can be used to transmit

 

emergency conditions and position location to a central HUB station for rescue

 

operation. It can be installed in boats or other vehicles. DAT combines the

 

message with position of the boat obtained through GPS, and transmits the same

 

to a central HUB station via UHF transponder of INSAT. Distress message along

 

with position, received at HUB can be used to mount quick rescue operation.
