SSAS equipment consists of a covert alert system designed for maritime security. The primary components include activation buttons, a transmitter, and an interface integrated with the ship’s communication network. These components allow silent transmission of distress signals to designated authorities. The system is usually connected to satellite communication systems such as Inmarsat or Iridium to ensure global coverage. Modern SSAS units come with tamper-proof features and multiple activation points to improve security. Periodic maintenance and testing are necessary to ensure operational reliability.
