Systems () and methods () for providing Digital Selective Calling ('DSC') based services. The methods involve: using Space-Born Maritime ('SBM') receivers of satellites () deployed in space as a satellite constellation to collect and process DSC emergency messages transmitted from DSC transmitters of terrestrial radios; using the satellites to position validate the DSC emergency messages; determining first positions of the DSC transmitters in transit based on geolocation data and time location data respectively assigned by the satellites to the DSC emergency messages; and validating the first positions to more precise second positions based on results of cross-correlations of the geolocation data and time location data with Automatic Identification Systems (&#x201c;AIS&#x201d;) data obtained for the DSC transmitters.

Systems and methods for space-based digital selective calling

Systems () and methods () for providing Digital Selective Calling ('DSC') based services. The methods involve: receiving, by a satellite () deployed in space, a DSC emergency message transmitted from a vessel () located in a body of water on Earth; and performing operations by the satellite to deliver the DSC emergency message to an appropriate authority located on Earth.
