The IMRF's Global Maritime SAR Forum (GMSF) is the world's leading global SAR community platform to share, present and discuss current, new, or proposed technologies, processes, procedures, skills, techniques, training, lessons, and experiences with a view to sharing information to improve SAR.

The virtual meetings will be held monthly and are open to IMRF members only. The meetings will consist of a presentation followed by an open discussion. The presentation part of the meeting will be recorded and put on the members-only area of the IMRF website. The GMSF will take over from the Future Technology Panel (FTP) and will expand the excellent work done by the FTP.

These forums are only available to IMRF Members only. If your organisation is not an IMRF member, but would like to join this forum, please visit our membership page for more details on IMRF membership and complete our application.
