Consciente de la désuétude prochaine de SARSAT [Système à satellite de poursuite pour la recherche et le sauvetage], CAL Corporation propose son système FOSS [Étude sur l'avenir des systèmes employés en recherche et sauvetage] qui contribuera à la mise au point d'un SARSAT de nouvelle génération, économique et techniquement supérieur à son prédécesseur. Conçu dans le cadre d'une étude entreprise par l'ASC [Agence spatiale canadienne], le MDN [ministère de la Défense nationale] et certains partenaires stratégiques de l'aérospatiale, le système est un outil de simulation logicielle qui permet, tant aux plaisanciers qu'aux fournisseurs de services SAR [recherches et sauvetage en mer], d'évaluer divers scénarios d'alerte, de localisation et de sauvetage. 2, record 3, French, - Follow%2Don%20Search%20and%20Rescue%20System
