ACR's ThunderBird Ship Security Alerting System (SSAS) allows captains and crew to beam a covert, digitally coded emergency signal to law enforcement and military agencies anywhere in the world alerting them that the ship's security has been compromised.

DISCONTINUED

It can be a dangerous world on the high seas. But with ACR's ThunderBird Ship Security Alerting System (SSAS), captains and crew can beam a covert, digitally coded emergency signal to law enforcement and military agencies anywhere in the world, alerting them that the ship's security has been compromised.

Using a powerful 406 MHz Cospas-Sarsat signal, the ThunderBird integrates with the vessel's onboard GPS to provide pinpoint positioning in an emergency crisis.

Meets Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) requirements for all SOLAS vessels engaged in international voyages

Full self-test confirms GPS data and tests internal circuitry and battery voltage 

Cross dipole antenna mounts on mast for optimal signal strength

Includes two stealth switches for remote activation

In-line waterproof connectors protect the integrity of the beacon from electrical failures due to moisture

Self contained long-life battery powers the beacon; requires no onboard hook up, making installation easy, and location selection convenient
