Who processes the SAR after Fleet Commanders forward it?

• A. Operators
• B. COMMO
• C. Satellite Controllers
• D. NCTAM

Answer: (C)

When a SAR request is forwarded by Fleet Commanders, the step that actually processes and routes that message over external networks is handled by Satellite Controllers. They manage the satellite links, ensure the urgent SAR message is properly formatted and transmitted, and route it to the appropriate rescue coordination center or authority. This role is specifically about external communications and forwarding across satellite networks, which is why they are the ones who process the SAR after the fleet forwards it. Operators handle the equipment and day-to-day operations, COMMO takes care of internal ship communications, and NCTAM oversees network management rather than processing a SAR message.
