Technique

Taken from reference: 1 The invention of the first practical avalanche beacon is owed to a research team led by Dr. John Lawton at Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory in Buffalo, New York who, influenced by avalanche expert Ed Lachappelle in 1968 developed the SKADI. Used to detect people buried in snow, this analog device broadcasted a pulsed signal as an audible tone and picked up by other beacons. It went into production in 1971 and quickly became a standard used by ski patrollers and people travelling in avalanche prone environments. In Europe, the first avalanche rescue beacon was commissioned by the Swiss Army in 1968 and developed by the Autophon company. Using the newly introduced European standard frequency of 457 kHz, development of the Barryvox VS68 took almost 2 years and soon thereafter found civilian use. This digital model uses three antenna to broadcast a signal at 457kHZ and then calculate distance and direction for greater pinpointing accuracy. This advanced model has several features including aid searching for multiple burials, work with several searchers, motion detection technology to transmit life signs from other buried Pulse beacons to the surface, and displays them on the search menu for possible triage.
