Defense Media Activity - Air Force
Aug. 1, 2018 | 1:18
Whether you’re climbing high in the mountains of Colorado, or flying over the Mississippi River tallgrass prairie, the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center, or AFRCC is always standing by to make sure your trip is a safe one. And what better way to stay safe than being prepared for emergencies with a beacon that transmits your location straight to the center responsible for sending help? After verifying a distress call, it only takes the click of a button, and Guard, Reserve, or active duty Airmen, the Civil Air Patrol, or local authorities will be on their way to save the day. Take a look at the process behind the tech.
