The (Future) Global Maritime Distress and Safety System
Planned in the -70s/-80s to replace morse:
Automatic, not manual
New technology: digital modulationsatellite systems

GMDSSNot so fancyNot so modern
Serves well, saves livesSimple, robust systems/equipmentTrue global compatibilityStill not fully implemented
Changes are slow to implement
