About AIS Search and Rescue Transmitters

AIS Search and Rescue Transmitters (AIS-SART, or SART) are self-contained devices that transmit

emergency position reports when activated. SART transmissions are different than standard AIS transmissions,

so they appear differently on the chartplotter. Instead of tracking a SART transmission for collision avoidance,

you track a SART transmission to locate and assist a vessel.

Navigating to a SART Transmission

When you receive a SART transmission, a distress signal alarm appears.

Enabling AIS-SART Transmission Test Alerts

In order to avoid a large number of test alerts and symbols in crowded areas such as marinas, AIS-SART test

alerts ignored by default. To test an AIS SART device, you must enable the chartplotter to receive test alerts.
