In a lifeboat or liferaft, what is a method of maximizing the effectiveness of an SART?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — Hold or mount the unit as high as possible.
Due to the strict line-of-sight propagation limitations of 9 GHz X-band frequencies, operators in lifeboats or liferafts must elevate the SART unit as high as practicable to overcome sea-surface screening and maximize detection range.
