The Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) has developed a newer version of its own Search and Rescue Aid Tool (SARAT).
It will provide ‘better accuracy and utility’ and aid the Indian Search and Rescue (SAR) agencies such as the Indian Coast Guard in their operations at sea.
SARAT application can simulate the probable search area of a range of objects lost at sea, including humans.
SARAT was launched in 2016 and has been used extensively by the Coast Guard in its marine search operations.
