About “Rescue”

Air-sea rescue involves the coordinated search and rescue of survivors from emergency water landings or lost seagoing vessels, utilizing seaplanes, helicopters, submarines, rescue boats, and ships. Specialized equipment and techniques are employed, and both military and civilian units may conduct such operations. The principles of air-sea rescue are outlined in the International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue Manual, while the International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue provides the legal framework for international operations.
