The satellite EPIRB trials were the first international effort to avoid a proliferation of standards around the world by conducting concurrent trials under the same controlled test conditions to enable a direct comparison to be made of the performance of the candidate systems. The evaluation of the data is now being carried out and the CCIR recommendation to IMO and INMARSAT is due in May 1984. One of the most satisfying features of the trials was the degree of co-operation between the teams. Although effectively competing with each other and therefore obviously wishing to show their systems to advantage the experimenters nevertheless developed a high degree of camaraderie. One incident which illustrates this occurred during the three days the Gauss was without an American engineer due to illness. The British and Soviet engineers got together to maintain the US buoys and so permit the US team at Villafranca to continue collecting data. This co-operation was indicative of the common desire of the experimenters to provide the mariner with the most reliable distress system capable of providing near instantaneous alerting of a distress occurrence in all the populated sea areas of the world.
