Maritime Survivor Locating Device Prototyping and Testing

Canatec Associates International Ltd.计划与SAIT理工学院合作开发先进的 海上幸存者定位装置(MSLD)，可认证用于工业和军事应用。 利用GPS和Irdium卫星技术，拟议的MSLD系统将允许双向 通信等重要功能。为期24个月的项目将使SAIT学生获得 具有MSLD系统测试系统设计的实际经验，并具备以下知识 面向制造的设计流程。此外，SAIT教职员工可以利用项目信息和调查结果作为 新的教学资源。由此产生的MSLD技术将大大增强人类在寒冷中的安全， 恶劣的海洋环境。它将增加Canatec的收入和竞争力，以及当地 在加拿大的长期就业。

Canatec Associates International Ltd. plans to collaborate with SAIT Polytechnic to develop an advanced maritime survivor locating device (MSLD), which can be certified for industrial and military applications. Utilizing GPS and Iridium satellite technology, the proposed MSLD system will allow bi-directional communication and other important features. The 24-month project will enable SAIT students to gain hands-on experience in testing systems design of the MSLD system and knowledge of the design-for-manufacture process. Also, SAIT faculty can make use of the project information and findings as new teaching resources. The resulting MSLD technology will substantially enhance human safety in cold, harsh marine environments. It will increase Canatec's revenues and competitiveness, as well as local employment in Canada in the long term.
