2.0 OVERVIEW
SARMaster is designed to meet the specialized needs of SAR Operators and RCCs located
around the world. Using the latest in Geographic Information System (GIS), Graphical
User Interface (GUI), and relational Database Management System (RDBMS)
technologies, SARMaster provides the SAR Operator with a single desktop platform to
plan and manage SAR operations, from the start of an incident to the conclusion.
Note: The terms Incident and Case are used interchangeably throughout this document.
2.1
2.2
SARMaster Components
SARMaster has two components:
SARMaster Geographical Information System (GIS) which provides spatial data
management
RDBMS-based SARMaster Incident Management Module (IMM) which provides
textual data management
2.3
Overview - 3
provide a fast and efficient method for entering and organizing all information related to
each SAR operation.
You can use these applications to look up or access information, and enter or link the
information to an incident within the IMM.
SARMaster is network aware, allowing each Operator to access and view the data for any
incident, and to enter the information received for any one of these incidents. The IMM is
tightly integrated with the GIS, with information being exchanged and displayed between
the two components.
