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.

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