Alert Notice (ALNOT): A message sent by an FSS or an ARTCC that requests an extensive communications search for overdue, unreported, or missing aircraft. Alert Phase: An emergency phase assigned when apprehension exists for the safety of a craft or person because of information that serious difficulties may exist which do not amount to a distress, or because of continued lack of information concerning progress or position. Alerting Post: Any facility other than a coast radio station designed to serve as an intermediary between a person reporting an incident or other emergency and an RCC or RSC. Area Control Center: An ICAO term for an ATC facility responsible for providing enroute IFR services. The U.S. Equivalent is ARTCC. Assistant RCC Controller: A person assigned to assist an RCC controller. Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue System (AMVER): A worldwide vessel-reporting system for SAR, operated by the Coast Guard for maintaining estimated position and other data of merchant vessels that voluntarily participate. Automated Radar Tracking System (ARTSIII/IIIa): FAA terminal ATC radar tracking system, usually associated with a single radar sensor or antenna with a 60 nautical mile range. Some ARTSIIIa computers located at major metropolitan area record from multiple radar sensors. ARTSIII records secondary radar targets only. ARTSIIIa records both primary and secondary radar data. Data is retained for 15 days. Glos-1

Awareness Range: Distance at which a search scanner can first detect something different from its surroundings but not yet recognize it. Awareness Stage: A period during which the SAR system becomes aware of an actual or potential incident. B-probability: Percentage representing probability that the "B" rather than the "A" solution represents a real position. B-solution: Based on single satellite pass data, the solution least likely to represent a real position. Beacon: Device operating on 121.5, 243, or 406 MHz intended solely for distress signaling. Beacon Alarm: Alert determined to result from a beacon signal. Beacon Protocol: One of seven formats defined for a beacon ID, i.e., maritime/location, radio call sign, orbitography, aviation, maritime, serialized, or test. Beacon Type: One of four types of serialized beacons, i.e., air, maritime, survival or personal locator. Buffer Zone: Area of defined width overlapping adjacent search and rescue regions for which alerts will be provided to the Rescue Coordination Centers responsible of both regions. Captain: Master of a ship, commanding officer of a warship, or an operator in charge of any other craft. Captain of the Port (COTP): Operational Coast Guard command which monitors vessel entries, exits and inspections within their area of control. Closed Site: Site which has been deleted from the active site data base. Commence Search Point (CSP): Point normally specified by the SMC for an SRU to begin its search pattern. Composite Solution (Composite): Computer generated position based on merging two or more matched single pass solutions. Note: A first composite is based on the first two matching single pass (elemental) solutions, and is sometimes referred to informally as a "double hit"; a second composite is based on the first three matching single pass solutions, etc. While all past elemental solutions are used to determine the most recent composite, only the most recent elemental solutions are shown in the alert message. Computer-Aided Search Planning (CASP): A computer search planning system which uses simulation techniques to produce multiple datum points that are displayed as a map of all possible locations.
