MEOSAR (Medium Earth Orbiting Search and Rescue) is expected to revolutionize the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite-based Search and Rescue system — enhancing a proven system which has helped to save over 35,000 lives (5 lives per day) since 1982. MEOSAR’s technological advancements will enhance distress beacon detection rates, improve location accuracy and reduce emergency response times to potentially save even more lives.

This video webinar provides an overview of MEOSAR, the next generation COSPAS-SARSAT satellite-based search and rescue system. The new MEOSAR is currently in the Testing and Development stage and scheduled to go fully operational in 2018. Yet many people affected by the search and rescue ecosystem know little about the exciting improvements MEOSAR will bring to the industry.
