Abstract
ABSTRACT The U.S. Navy's Supervisor of Salvage (SUPSALV) Response Asset Tracking System (RATS) was developed to provide enhanced safety and logistics support, improve worldwide contingency planning capabilities, and increase operational responsiveness through automated tracking of oil spill containment and recovery equipment. RATS's worldwide tracking capability is accomplished by combining Global Positioning System (GPS) technology with VHF and INMARSAT-C transmission links. The system allows the equipment's position to be automatically overlaid on digitized mapping systems and nautical charts. The application of GPS-based RATS technology to oil spill containment and recovery scenarios greatly enhances “command and control” and operational effectiveness.
