SARTs, or Search and Rescue Transponders can be used to help rescuers pin point your location if you need to take to a liferaft.
SARTs are active devices that transmit a signal which can be picked up by an x-band radar. The SART listens for radars, and only transmits once it has detected one.
This video will show you how to operate a SART and how best to position one to ensure your detection.
