rescue beacon
Emergency location signal
A rescue beacon is an electronic device that transmits a distress signal to help searchers locate someone in an emergency.
Hikers, pilots, and sailors carry them for situations where other communication fails.
When activated, the beacon sends a signal to satellites or search-and-rescue teams: The climbers triggered their rescue beacon after the avalanche.
