Survivor Recovery- Emerging Technology

1.0 Page section goes here


There is a growing need for a MOB (Man Over Board) system that aids in the local recovery of a victim when the vessel is in range to carry out the rescue.Time is the critical factor.

The system needs to be low cost due to the volume of crew per vessel and ideally needs to be integrated to existing technology on board to avoid additional cost.


The SolutionSurvivor Recovery System- AIS



A personal AIS transmitter that can be worn on a lifejacket or survival suit, which will alert the vessel of the MOB alert through its existing navigation system, and transmit the casualty’s position regularly.

AIS works by transmitting the position locating signal on VHF to all AIS receivers and AIS enabled plotters* within a 4 mile radius.*For use with AIS plotter, contact plotter manufacturer for further info.


The Solution Kannad R10Survivor Recovery System- AIS



Transmits Lat/Long, a unique ID, plus course & speed (drift of MOB) to any AIS-enabled plotter or radar within VHF range

Transmits continuously for 24 hours

2-step manual activation, or semi-automatic activation when integrated into a lifejacket by a lifejacket manufacturer





Activation of SRS is achieved by removal of the red cap, which releases the stowed antenna & pushes the ON button.

This can be achieved in one of two ways:

Manual Activation, by simply Pulling the red cap off with the handy lanyard

2. Semi-Automatic Activation, where the red cap is pulled off by the lifejacketlung inflating. This is only authorised whenthe SRS is supplied by a McMurdo partnerLifejacket Manufacturer




stage 1 – Armed on Lifejacket,orange tab removed

Stage 2 – As lifejacket inflates, redcap is pulled off SRS body, releasingantenna

Stage 3 – and automatically pushing the ON button. The SRS is now active
