Transmit an identifiable emergency position message on both AIS channels to assist nearby vessels and rescue units.
The NSR NAS-1000 is a floatable AIS-SART intended for survival craft and search-and-rescue use. Its preconfigured identity is transmitted in position reports and safety messages on both AIS channels.
Key benefits
- AIS visibility: Emergency messages appear on compatible AIS displays with the unit’s unique identity and GNSS position.
- Long endurance: Low-power design provides at least 96 hours of continuous activated operation.
- Survival-craft format: Floatable and watertight construction supports deployment from a life raft.
Compatibility and installation
Confirm carriage requirements, mounting position, vessel documentation and expiry dates with the flag administration and official NSR instructions. The NAS-1000 complements approved distress equipment and does not replace an EPIRB.
