Document C/S G.003 "Introduction to the Cospas-Sarsat System" provides a detailed information of the System history, Programme Management, concept of operation, and description of the various components. This is the best document to read to obtain a general understanding of the Cospas-Sarsat System.
Document C/S G.005 "Cospas-Sarsat Guidelines on 406 MHz Beacon Coding, Registration and Type Approval" was developed as an aide to help understand these issues. C/S G.005 is not a specification document, but it may be useful in explaining some of the complicated issues defined in Specification documents. For example, the specifications for coding 406 MHz beacons is detailed in document C/S T.001 "Cospas-Sarsat 406 MHz Beacon Specification". Document C/S G.005 complements the information provided in C/S T.001 by clarifying some of the concepts and rules for beacon coding, and by providing several examples.
