  • The Korea Maritime Police Agency(KMPA) is the national maritime Search and Rescuee (SAR) authority with the responsibility to promote an efficient organization of SAR services and to coordinate the conduct of SAR operations within the Korean Search and Rescue Region(SRR). The maritime SAR operations shall provide an adequate and effective search and rescue services to minimize the loss by rendering aid to persons in distress and property in the marine environment. The essence of a successful search and rescue operation is the speed with which it is planned and carried out because survivors who need assistance and whose chances of survival diminish rapidly with time. This paper aims to propose an optimal allocation model of maritime SAR fleet in view of minimizing the search and rescue time. When maritime accidents occur, rescue units have to reach to the distress scene within the specified time. For this, SAR units must be redeployed to an advanced base so that Rescue Units(RU) can reach to the scene of distress in the shortest possible time. The Korean maritime SRR is divided into 180 sub-areas in consideration of an operational and technical ability of SAR units. The suggested model is verified through an empirical application to the Korean maritime SRR. And also the Rescue Vessels(RV) required is estimated for each Rescue Co-ordination Center(RCC).

  • COSPAS-SARSAT is the search and rescue system for providing a distress alarm and a position identification using an international satellite and ground facilities. Aviators, mariners and land users worldwide are equipped with COSPAS-SARSAT distress beacons, which could help save their in emergency situations anywhere in the world. As the existing COSPAS-SARSAT system is generally operated by LEO(Low-altitude Earth Orbit) Satellite System, the time from the distress beacon to the rescue is more than 1 hour with average and the accuracy of the distress location is about 5 Km. Therefore, in order to overcome this problem, the development for the next generation SAR(search and rescue) system which uses the MEO(middle-altitude Earth Orbit) satellites is going on the Galileo project. EU is developing this project for the full operation capability in 2011, and this project will have SAR payloads and support to the Search and Rescue service-herein called SAR/Galileo. SAR/Galileo will have the performance of a few meter accuracy, within 10 minutes to rescue from reception of distress messages, and Return Link Service(from the SAR operator to the distress emitting beacon), thereby facilitating more efficient rescue operations and helping to reduce the rate of false alerts. As the disaster is larger every year, the ground station, MEOLUT for next generation ASR/Galileo is urgently needed for the lifesaving for the larger disaster, the research for beacon and the ground station such as MEOLUT for introducing the next generation SAR/Galileo in Korea is very timely and is important. This paper presents the procedures and the strategies for the participation, the area to develop reasonably, and the propulsion organization for developing the SAR/Galileo ground system in Korea.

  • KCG, responsible Agency of maritime SAR operation has been known to address the marine casualties well, however, it was criticized because KCG failed to take prompt and effective response to the recent Ferry disaster at the very early stage. In this regards, the authors analyze the characteristics of marine incident with historical data, and also review and examine the national SAR system focusing on SAR coordination and human resources to make recommendation and suggestion in order to minimize the loss of lives to future marine incidents. As a result, KCG shall augment its capabilities, inter alia, fast libeboats and rescue helicopters for prompt response to marine incidents at the coastal waters, and KCG shall re-adjust the establishment of Rescue Coordination Center to improve operational problems of current system in accordance with IMO guidance, KCG is required to introduce mandatory training, qualification and certificate system to enhance the professionalism of SAR personnel.

  • In the 21st century, it is highly required to develop a better security management system to prevent many severe accidents occurred in the sea because it has been growing both size and importance for industries and global business which are heavily related to the sea. In this paper, we proposed a new theoretical criteria for three core decisions to make for SAR(search and rescue). These are three decisions for search scope, search assets, and search duration. We first brought up several issues and problems of current SAR system, and then studies all related factors of these three decisions for SAR operations. This paper provides a theoretical foundation of SAR operations by applying a theoretical approach and reasonable standards.

  • SART(Search and Rescue Radar Transponder) is a radar transponder capable of operating in the 9GHz band which is one element of GMDSS. the fundamental function of the SART is to indicate its position. Thus it is so much available to assist SAR operation when an emergency and casualty occur at any sea area, In the thesis we designed manufactured each part of circuit to develop the advanced SART and configured to test the characteristics in many ways, As the results of detailed things we confirmed that the developed SART could be high possibility of production.

  • In this study the drift prediction models currently used in search and rescue(SAR) operations are introduced and the basic differences among them are analyzed by comparing the target classification, the treatment of environmental conditions, leeway equations and the determination of search area. In addition the new methods under development including AP98 of U.S. Coast Guard are compared and studied to improve the efficiency of SAR operation.

  • The COSPAS-SARSAT Search-and-Rescue System detects and locates emergency beacons activated by aircraft, ships and individuals. In particular, when this system is used in wartime and the signal is leaked to the enemy, it can cause the loss of the rescuers and the survivors. This paper proposes an improved method which protects the COSPAS-SARSAT search-and-rescue signal itself from being disclosed during its operation. In addition, there is presented a new protocol which maintains the stabilized security status between survivors and rescuers, using the Galileo/SAR return link.

  • In this paper the detection time of the distress signal for the satellite-based search and rescue (SAR) system is evaluated. Present LEOSAR system in operation employs a few Low-altitude Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and hence provides poor and local coverage availability. This results in a considerably long waiting time for a distress beacon to be detected by a rescue mission control center. One can expect that the detection time of the distress signal will be significantly reduced if the proposed MEOSAR system, which is based on the Medium-altitude Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites, is implemented. Taking into account the influence of the obstacles on the beacon signal, simulations are carried out to evaluate the detection time of distress signals for the LEOSAR and MEOSAR systems and the corresponding results are analyzed.
