Helicopter Transit Emergency Locator Beacons
A new long range tracking Alerting Unit (PLB) which has been specifically developed for the offshore helicopter transit industry.
  1. Helicopter departs from platform
  2. Helicopter experiences a failure of some sort and is forced to ditch
  3. Crew exit helicopter, Alerting Units automatically activate after 5 seconds immersion (or 40 sec. override)
  4. SAR crews arrive on scene and home into 121.5MHz ‘SOS’ signal from missing persons.

RT-600 (SAR-DF 517)
Multi-Band Direction Finder System for Airborne SAR 

The RT-600 (SAR-DF 517) is an SAR direction finder system for airborne SAR that operates on all frequency bands used for rescue missions, including emergency frequencies 121.500 MHz, 243.000 MHz and 406.028 MHz (Cospas-Sarsat) as well as channel 16 of the marine band. 

Emergency beacons that operate on the Cospas-Sarsat frequency 406.028 MHz can be identified and localized. No additional equipment is required in the aircraft since the electronic direction finding components are integrated into the a antenna. 

The display and control unit consists of an 80-mm round instrument, and the graphic LCD display permits convenient viewing of localization and Cospas-Sarsat information.

Application This high-precision SAR direction finder system was designed specifically for use on board all aircraft, including helicopters.
