EPIRBs. The Float free bracket, FB-60 is a covered bracket with an hydrostatic release unit (HRU) which will release the Tron 60S/GPS if the bracket is submerged to a depth of 2-4 meters if the ship are about to sink. -
Page 13: System Description
In addition several geostationary satellites are equipped with a 406 MHz tran- sponder, these satellites are not able to locate the Tron 60S/GPS but will give an early warning to the rescue forces, minimising the time from an emergency occurs till the rescue forces are at the site. -
Page 14: Distress Location Determination
(TCA). Knowing the position of the satellite and using the re- ceived doppler signal information, it is possible to determine the location of the Tron 60S/GPS from the satellite at the TCA. At the LUT, actually two positions are calculated. One is the actual position (A) and the other is the mirror image (B) position. -
