SYSTEM OVERVIEW System overview The Automatic Identification System (AIS) was originally developed to aid the Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) by use of a VHF transponder working on Digital Selective Call (DSC) at VHF CH70, and is still in use along the UK coastal areas and others. Some time later the IMO developed a Universal AIS using the new sophisticated technology called Self-Organized Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) based on a VHF Data Link (VDL).
Not all ships carry AIS The Officer of the Watch (OOW) should always be aware that other ships, and in particular leisure craft, fishing boats and warships, and some coastal shore stations including Vessel Traffic Service centers might not be fitted with AIS. The OOW should also be aware that AIS fitted on other ships as a mandatory carriage requirement might be switched off by professional judgment of the master.

At this time the BIIT (built-in integrity test facility) checks the major circuits including RAM, ROM, interface, etc.
1 OPERATION The FA-100 starts receiving data from AIS-equipped ships as soon as it is turned on, and the ships’ location on the plotter display is shown with the AIS symbol. (To learn more about the plotter display, see paragraph 1.7.) With connection of a radar or ECDIS, the AIS target symbols may be overlaid on the radar or ECDIS. Note 1: If no navigation sensor is installed or a sensor such as a gyrocompass has failed, the AIS automatically transmits “not available” data.
