ENOS stands for "Elektronisches Notruf- und Ortungssystem" - "Electronic Rescue and Location System" - a system developed in Germany for use by divers at sea.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.seareq.de/en/products/enos/what-is-it )〕 ENOS allows people in distress to signal their location when drifting on the ocean’s surface so they can be quickly located and rescued. Although the system was especially developed for scuba diving it can also be used for other water sports like windsurfing, jet skiing, sailing and boating. == Assembly and Operation == Each ENOS unit consists of two parts. The ENOS-Receiver which is kept on board the dive boat; and the ENOS-Transmitter(s) carried by the diver(s). ENOS is designed for emergencies associated with a diver(s) surfacing too far from the boat to swim back. For example, when divers have been swept away from their vessel by a current or when they can’t see the boat because of poor weather. To send an emergency signal, the diver switches on the transmitter. This will send the signal and the diver’s GPS position back to the boat’s receiver. When the receiver picks up the diver’s alert, it automatically determines the boat’s GPS position and calculates the vessel’s distance and bearing to the diver’s position. The results are clearly plotted on screen for the skipper to follow during the rescue. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ENOS Rescue-System」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
