News Portable Antenna Tower Enables Post-Hurricane Communications The U.S. Coast Guard restored full maritime radio communications in the Venice and Port Sulphur areas of Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina by using a new Disaster Recovery System portable antenna tower that enabled search and rescue operations to continue in the devastated region, even though normal communications were knocked out. "The tower was designed as a critical compenent of the Rescue 21 command and control system to provide emergency communications following a crisis," said Captain Robert Mobley, Rescue 21 project manager. The fully functional, temporary system is self-sufficient and has its own generator and satelitte connectivity to the Coast Guard's Operations Systems Center in Martinsburg, WV. Currently entering full production phase, Rescue 21 has been developed to replace outdated communications technology and will become the Coast Guard's command and control system along 95,000 miles of coastline.
