Applied Science Associates announced its improved Geographic Information System (GIS) technology that allows faster, more accurate tracking of debris to predict and identify the location of crashes and accidents at sea. SARMAP, an integrated GIS search-and-rescue system, tells the rescuers where to look for people after an accident at sea. The system allows responders to determine the speed, direction, and location of floating objects, such as floating debris, or debris washed up along shorelines. The goal is to speed up the identification of crash locations and to expedite search-and-rescue operations.
