The (Future) Global Maritime Distress and Safety System
Planned in the -70s/-80s to replace morse:
Automatic, not manual
New technology: digital modulation
satellite systems
Fulfil 9 functional requirements wherever it is
Alert shore and ships
Communicate
Be located
Receive safety information
Sea areasA1: VHF - Line of sight
A2: MF - Ground wave
A3: Inmarsat – GSO
A4: HF - Reflections
Radiosystems in the GMDSS
VHF, MF and HF: DSC, voice, data

Serves well, saves livesSimple, robust systems/equipmentTrue global compatibilityStill not fully implemented
Changes are slow to implement
