Emergency Rescue Signaling Kit for Aviation and Marine Use
Designed to help rescuers locate you faster by combining satellite distress signaling with powerful visual identification tools for day and night emergencies.

Built to Help Rescuers Find You Faster

In an emergency, transmitting your location is only part of the equation. Rescue teams still need to visually identify your exact position once they arrive in the area.

This emergency signaling kit combines three proven rescue tools into one coordinated system:

  • Personal Locator Beacon: Sends your GPS distress location through the international rescue satellite network
  • Emergency Strobe: Increases visibility in darkness, rain, fog, and low-light conditions
  • AirMarker Balloon: Creates a highly visible elevated aerial marker for aircraft and helicopters

Together, these tools help shorten search time during offshore, remote terrain, wilderness, or open-water emergencies.

Why Visibility Matters During Rescue Operations

A rescue beacon can direct responders toward your general location, but environmental conditions often make visual identification difficult.

Open ocean swells, dense trees, rocky terrain, low light, fog, or rough weather can make a person extremely difficult to spot from the air.

By combining electronic signaling with elevated and illuminated visual markers, this kit improves the chances of being located quickly after rescue teams arrive nearby.

Example Emergency Scenario

Imagine a helicopter or aircraft ditching offshore after a mechanical emergency.

The PLB immediately transmits your GPS coordinates to rescue authorities. As rescue aircraft approach the area, the emergency strobe helps crews identify your position at night or in poor visibility.

During daylight or extended rescue operations, the AirMarker balloon rises approximately 150 feet above your location, helping aircraft crews visually identify you from greater distances and over waves or terrain obstacles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why combine multiple signaling devices?

Each tool serves a different purpose. The beacon alerts rescue services, while the strobe and AirMarker help crews visually identify your exact location during the search.

Does the locator beacon require a paid subscription?

No. The ACR ResQLink 400 operates through the international Cospas-Sarsat rescue satellite network with no recurring subscription fees.

Is this only for aviation use?

No. This kit is also well suited for boating, offshore operations, wilderness travel, and other remote activities where rapid rescue visibility matters.

Can the AirMarker be seen at night?

Yes. The AirMarker system is designed to remain visible during both daytime and nighttime rescue operations for up to three days.
