2016 Survey Highlights

  • Conducted by the Cospas-Sarsat Secretariat since 1991,

annually

  • 46 beacon manufacturers participated in the survey

– Survey responses are missing from 6 manufacturers (which accounted for ~1% of 2014 beacon production)

  • Geographical distribution of participating manufacturers:

– Europe: 44% – USA and Canada: 30% – Asia and Australia: 26%
