SAR Facility: Any unit, command, device, or system used for SAR operations. SAR Incident: Any situation requiring notification and alerting of the SAR system and which may require SAR mission(s). SAR Liaison Officer: An officer assigned to promote coordination during a SAR mission. SAR Mission: Any SAR situation involving dispatch of SAR resources. SAR Mission Coordinator (SMC): The official assigned by the SAR Coordinator to coordinate and control a SAR mission. SAR Mission Information Officer (SMIO): The official designated by the SMC for coordinating, controlling, and disseminating news releases, or other information, concerning a specific SAR mission. SAR Plan: Description of SAR resources, procedures, and areas of responsibility. SAR Points of Contact (SPOC): Rescue Coordination Centers and other established and recognized national points of contact that can accept alert data to enable the rescue of persons in distress. SARSAT: See Search and Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking. SAR Stage: Standard steps in the orderly progression of SAR missions, normally Awareness, Initial Action, Planning, Operations, and Mission Conclusion. Satellite Ground Track: Path on the earth's surface directly below a satellite's orbit. Sea: Condition of the surface resulting from waves and swells. Sea Current (SC): The residual current when currents caused by tides and local winds are subtracted from local current. It is the main, largescale flow of ocean waters. Glos-7

Search Action Plan: Message, normally developed by the SMC, for passing instructions to SRUs and agencies participating in a SAR mission. Search and Rescue (SAR): The use of available resources to assist persons and property in potential or actual distress. Search and Rescue Region (SRR): A defined area with an RCC, within which SAR services are provided. Search and Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking (SARSAT): International system of satellites and ground network for distress alerting, positioning, and using of emergency beacons. Combined with U.S.S.R. segment, COSPAS, to form the COSPAS-SARSAT system. Search and Rescue System: An arrangement of components activated as needed to efficiently and effectively aid persons or property in actual or potential distress. Search and Rescue Unit (SRU): A specialized unit for SAR. Search Area: Area assigned by competent authority to be searched. Searchmaster (SM): Canadian term for an individual appointed to coordinate and direct a specific SAR operation. Search Pattern: A trackline or procedure assigned to an SRU for searching a specified area. Search Radius (R): Radius of a circle centered on a datum, having a length equal to the Total Probable Error (E) plus an additional safety length to help ensure the target is in the search area. Secondary Radar Data Only (SECRA): Indicates radar sensor or antenna records secondary or transponder data only. Secondary Radar Return: A radio signal received from an aircraft equipped with an airborne radar beacon system. More commonly referred to as a transponder or beacon return. Secondary RCC: Rescue Coordination Center other than a Primary RCC receiving a copy of an alert. Secondary Swells: Swell systems of less height than the primary swell. Sector: A defined area with an RSC, within which SAR services are provided. Set: The direction in which water or an object moves under the influence of wind or current. Service Area: Geographic area for which a Mission Control Center accepts responsibility to forward alerts to SAR Points of Contact.
