SART stands for Search and Rescue Transponder.
It is a device for locating ships or their survival craft in distress.
The SART operates in the 9 GHz frequency band - generating a series of dots when being interrogated by a search craft with an X - Band (3cm) radar.
As the search craft approaches to within 1 nautical mile of the SART, the 12 dots change to wide arcs and eventually into complete circles as the search craft nears the SART.
For the person in distress the SART provides a visual and acoustic indication when being interrogated.
The detection range from a rescue ship to the SART is a minimum of 5 nautical miles, and from a Search and Rescue helicopter up to 40 nautical miles.

Thank you for taking the initiative to educate people through this training video. The observation i would like to share with you is that though the responses from the interrogated SART is shown to emit the correct characters, the display point of reference shown on the animated Radar screen is incorrect.
What i am referring to is that the interrogated SART characters are drawn with reference to the centre of the observation vessel, i.e. the centre of the Radar display screen, not the SART position. e.g. when the observation vessel gets within
