System overview 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.1 General The Simrad AI80 Automatic Identification System (AIS) uses VHF communication to transmit and receive AIS data. An AIS system operates primarily on two dedicated VHF channels, AIS 1 – 161.975 MHz and AIS 2 – 162.025 MHz. Where these channels are not available regionally, the AIS can be set to alternate designated channels. The system broadcasts the vessel's position, speed and course over ground as well as static and voyage related information.
Simrad AI80 User Manual Coverage The system radio coverage range is similar to other VHF applications and is dependent on the height of the antenna. The propagation differs from that of a radar, due to the longer wavelength, so it is possible to "see" around bends and behind islands if the landmasses are not too high. A typical value to be expected at sea is 20 nautical miles.
System overview Data reporting and transmission rates AIS data as stated above are autonomously sent at different update rates and thus reporting rates are dependent on the ship's navigational mode. Dynamic information is dependent on speed and course alteration while static and voyage related data are transmitted every 6 minutes or on request. Thus fast ferries will report their navigational data at a higher update rate than ships at anchor. Ship's Manoeuvring Condition Ship at anchor 3 min.
Simrad AI80 User Manual 1.
System overview The Mobile Unit broadcasts the vessel’s position, speed and course as well as static and voyage related information. The unit incorporates two VHF receivers, one VHF transmitter, one DSC receiver, one GPS receiver and a processor. The internal GPS receiver is used for time synchronisation and for back-up position sensor. The MKD unit provides a simple user interface to the Mobile Unit with basic presentation of configuration data and position data in a 4x20 character display.
