🇬🇧 EN #010 – SAREX Pelican 2025: GADSS, SAR Coordination & Mass Rescue in the Caribbean | Global SAR Hub: Mission Ready – The Podcast Dedicated to the World of Search and Rescue (SAR)

Description

What if an international airliner crashed off the coast of Martinique?
This wasn’t a disaster — it was SAREX Pelican 2025, the largest full-scale aeronautical SAR exercise ever conducted in the Caribbean. In this episode, we break down how 400 participants, cutting-edge tech, and real interagency coordination came together to validate the GADSS system and simulate a mass rescue under extreme conditions.

🔍 What you'll learn in this episode:

How a simulated air crash triggered a full-scale multi-agency rescue response
What GADSS is, and how ELT-DT beacons and the LADR system revolutionize aircraft tracking
How Cospas-Sarsat and Eurocontrol integrate into modern distress alert chains
How SARCHAT enabled real-time coordination across sea, air, and land units
Lessons learned on capacity thresholds, disaster medicine, and all-hazards preparedness in the Caribbean
