Airborne AIS
All maritime aircraft interacting
with ships or with other maritime aircraft will
benefit from having an airborne AIS transponder
onboard. As AIS data transmissions (VHF) from
maritime surface traffic and airborne AIS
equipped aircraft are available broadcasted in
the air, it can be utilized by maritime airborne
operators. Most frequent airborne AIS users
include:
Search and Rescue Aircraft (SAR)
Maritime Patrol
Aircraft (MPA)
Offshore Helicopter Traffic
Airborne AIS has become
an obligatory for well equipped SAR and
MPA aircraft.
A dedicated SAR message including
altitude is implemented in the AIS
standard. Silent Mode is an optional
feature with receive/no transmit
operation. For offshore and other
airborne maritime aircraft, AIS brings
significant safety improvements and a
number of useful applications. AIS is
also a new tool for National coastal
surveillance and security monitoring. In
addition, the system is very useful and
cost effective for fleet tracking and
management.
Standard airborne AIS transponder installations
includes GPS and VHF antennas and provide
optional interfacing with a display system
(cockpit or cabin display).
