In 2019, the Canadian Coast Guard placed an order with Seacoast Marine Electronics, a RHOTHETA dealer based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. As a result, the Canadian Coast Guard will replace aging direction finders across its fleet with the RT-500-M radio direction finder within two to three years.
RHOTHETA direction finding devices have been installed on the ships of the DGzRS since 1996. We are proud that RHOTHETA direction finding devices have been helping to rescue shipwrecked people on the German coast for over 20 years.
Portable
Since 2019, we have been using the RHOTHETA RT-400 portable radio direction finding system to conduct search and rescue missions at Paris-Charles De Gaulle Airport. Compared to our old devices, the RT-400 halves the search time for a downed plane. This is a revolution and makes us much more efficient in rescuing passengers near an airport.
