rescue operations.

SART

A survival craft transponder that,

when activated, sends out a signal

automatically when a pulse from a

nearby radar reaches it the signal

appears on the interrog-ating radarscreen and gives the bearing and

distance of the transponder for SAR

purposes.

LO1 Explain the General System Concept

TEACHER ACTIVITY CADET ACTIVITYPresent the primary

purpose of the three

volumes of theIAMSAR Manual


20/34

The primary purpose of the three volumes of

the IAMSAR Manual is to:

1. assist States in meeting their own SAR

needs and

2. Support States in their obligations they

accepted under the ICAO, the SAR 1979 and

SOLAS 1974 as amended


21/34

3. provide guidelines for a common aviation andmaritime approach to organizing and providing

SAR services.

4. encouraged to develop and improve theirSAR services, co-operate with neighbouring

States

5.consider their SAR services to be part of aglobal system.


22/34

IAMSAR Manual consist of:

Vol. I

The Organization and Managementvolume discusses the global SAR system

concept, establishment and improvement of

national and regional SAR systems and co-operation with neighbouring States to provide

effective and economical SAR services;

Vol. II

The Mission Co-ordination volumeassists personnel who plan and co-ordinate

SAR operations and exercises; and


23/34

Vol. III The Mobile Facilities volume is

intended to be carried aboard rescue units,

aircraft, and vessels to help with performanceof a search, rescue, or on-scene co-ordinator

function and with aspects of SAR that pertain to

their own emergencies.


24/34

Vol. 1 Organization and Management

Chapter 1 presents an overview of the SAR

concept, including what is involved in providingSAR services, and why such services are

required and beneficial. The SAR system is

examined from a global, regional and nationalperspective.

Chapter 2 introduces some of the key

components of the SAR system. These includecommunications, rescue co-ordination centres

and sub-centres, operational and support

facilities and the on-scene co-ordinator.


25/34

Chapter 3 considers the use of training,

qualification, and certification processes todevelop professionally competent SAR

personnel. A number of aspects of training and

of exercises used for training, are examined in

detail.

Chapter 4 describes the communications

needs of the SAR organization for reception of

distress alerts and for supporting effective co-ordination among the various components of

the SAR system.


26/34

Chapter 5 provides an overall management

perspective of the SAR system.

Chapter 6 discusses the necessary factorsand recommends some techniques for creating

an organizational environment that fosters

improvement of services.


27/34

Vol. II Mission Co-ordination

Chapter 1 presents an overview of the SARsystem concept, including what is involved in

providing SAR services, and why such services

are required and beneficial. The SAR system is

examined from a global, regional, and national

perspective. Key components of the SAR

system, such as rescue co-ordination centres

(RCCs), operational and support facilities andthe on-scene co-ordinator (OSC), are

discussed.


28/34

Chapter 2 focuses primarily on SAR

communications topics. These include distress

communications, emergency beacons,communications for SAR operations and a

variety of communications and safety systems

related to or used by the SAR system.


29/34

Chapter 3 introduces the five stages throughwhich responses to SAR incidents typically

progress, describes the three emergency

phases (Uncertainty, Alert, and Distress) andthe first two stages (Awareness and Initial

Action) in detail, and provides additional

valuable guidance for the early stages of aSAR incident.


30/34

Chapter 4contains a detailed discussion of

the theory and practice of search planning. Itpresents a complete yet practical application of

search theory to the SAR search planning

problem. It provides guidance for balancing the

conflicting goals of covering large areas with

limited facilities or using those facilities to

achieve high probabilities of detection in small

areas. The procedures outlined allow the searchplanner to determine the optimal area to search

so that the chances of success are maximized.


31/34

Chapter 5 discusses search techniques andoperations, including search facility selection,

assessment of search conditions, search

pattern selection for visual, electronic, night

and land searches, search sub-area

assignments, standard methods for designating

and describing search sub-areas, planning of

on-scene co-ordination, and finally compiling allthis data into an attainable search action plan.


32/34

Chapter 6describes aspects of rescueplanning and operations such as logistics,

modes of rescue, care and debriefing of

survivors, handling of deceased persons, and

certain special requirements involving aircraft

crash sites.

Chapter 7contains guidance for emergency

assistance other than SAR in which the SARsystem may become involved.


33/34

Chapter 8 discusses the orderly conclusion of

SAR operations. The topics covered include

closing of SAR cases, suspending search

operations, reopening a suspended SAR case,

completing final reports, conducting

performance improvement reviews and case

studies, and archiving SAR case files.
