NASAR 2017 DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION BRYAN ENBERG

WHAT WE ARE • International Higher Education Organization for SAR professionals • Offering Classes and Certification • Publisher • Advocate (for all of SAR)

SAR VOLUNTEER PROFESSIONAL CAREER PATH • 3 Entry Points • Blended Learning

SAR IS A LOCATION BASED PROBLEM EXPERT NAVIGATION AND MAPS ARE MISSION CRITICAL 36° 34’ 43” N, 118° 17’ 32”W +36° 34. 71’, -118° 17. 54 +36. 5785, -118. 2923 11 S 0384382 4048893 11 S LA 84382 48893

NEW PROGRAMS • NASAR Basic Navigation Pocket Guide • Blended Learning Environment • Basic GPS • Intermediate GPS • All new products teaching USNG as primary geo reference system for land SAR responders.

BASIC NAVIGATION • Partnership with Waterford Press

BASIC NAVIGATION • At o-dark-thirty, in a driving rainstorm and short of caffeine, we might need a little refresher, confidence builder or safety check. • Available at the NASAR bookstore online

BASIC & INTERMEDIATE GPS • Partnership with National Alliance for Public Safety GIS • Based on the ASTM F 3071 and F 3072 Standards

Learning Objectives By the end of Intermediate GPS Endorsement Course, participants will be able to: Explain in general how the GPS segments work together to determine a location and be able to identify potential sources or error Define the advantages and disadvantages of navigating by GPS/GNSS receiver versus navigating by map and compass. Communicate how a GPS/GNSS receiver can be used to document the search process Convey the importance of the GPS datum matching the map datum

Learning Objectives Cont. Exhibit an awareness level knowledge of US National Grid and be prepared to integrate in allhazard incidents. Demonstrate basic GPS receiver functions Change and set basic GPS settings in preparation for SAR operations Recognize when the satellite coverage is adequate for recording usable data Determine location in the field and correlate that location to a topographic map

Learning Objectives Cont. Calibrate the GPS compass and altimeter Install external maps on the GPS unit Create and manage waypoints using various strategies Demonstrate the ability to work with tracks Demonstrate the ability to work with routes Navigate using the GPS

Space Segment Constellation of at least satellites 24 operational GPS satellites (as of October 31, 2016 there were 31 operational GPS satellites) From nearly any point on earth, a user can “view” at least four satellites The satellites transmit radio signals to users

Trilateration – 4 Satellites Distance to four satellites are known 3 D Fix

GPS Errors Satellite Clock Upper atmosphere (ionosphere) Receiver Clock Satellite Orbit Lower Atmosphere Multipath Intentional Degradation (Selective Availability)

Satellite Arrangement Satellite arrangement affects position quality An ideal, well distributed arrangement is illustrated at the upper left Satellite arrangement, visibility, and position quality change constantly Good Poor PDOP, HDOP Good Poor , , HDOP Poor PDOP, Poor HDOP

Real World Example of Datum Shift Helispot coordinates were referenced to NAD 27 (green) Coordinates were manually entered with receiver set to NAD 83 (red) Coordinates without a known datum are ambiguous

Intro to Garmin Basecamp

Basic Receiver Functions Power GPS Unit on ◦ It may take 30 to 60 seconds to acquire satellite signals (or longer if it has been off for a while or move a great distance) Check battery power ◦ Tap the Power Button on the side of the device to open the Status Page ◦ Review the Battery icon and determine if your GPS has sufficient battery power ◦ If the batteries need to be changed, turn the screw on the back and replace the AA batteries, or if the GPS has rechargeable batteries, plug it into a sufficient power source

Satellite System Check and set the satellite system ◦ Main Menu → Setup → System → Satellite System ◦ Some models have GPS and GPS + GLONASS. You need to determine if you want to use both systems.

Position Format and Datum Set Position Format and Datum ◦ Press “Menu” twice → Setup → Position Format → Set Position Format to US National Grid and Map Datum to NAD 83

Calibrate Compass after moving long distances, experiencing temperature changes, or changing batteries Be sure that you are outdoors and away from objects that can influence magnetic fields ◦ From the Compass Page, press Menu → Calibrate Compass → Follow the on screen instructions

Calibrate Altimeter The barometric altimeter can be calibrated if the current elevation or barometric pressure is known ◦ From the Altimeter Page, press Menu → Calibrate Altimeter → Follow on screen instructions OR
