McMurdo SmartFind G8 Plus AIS EPIRB Cat 1 – Automatic Release Housing

Combining the global 406 MHz professional search and rescue alert, with the localised locating and tracking power of AIS. The SmartFind G8 PLUS AIS EPIRB is MEOSAR Compatible® for enhanced detection and location performance and now with Infra-Red (Night-Vision) optical signal to aid detection of survivors in low light conditions.
