Chapter 17: Automatic Identification System (AIS) 253 Chapter 17: Automatic Identification System (AIS) 17.1Introduction This chapter details the AIS system and how it can be used as a safety aid. Once set up you can overlay the AIS on chart or radar windows and use it to: • Display a target (with heading/speed vectors and rate of turn) for any other AIS equipped vessels. • Display basic or detailed information for each target vessel including safety critical target data.

Chapter 17: Automatic Identification System (AIS) 17.3 255 What do I need to run AIS? In order to run AIS, you will need: • A receive only unit or a full transponder. Note: A receiver will allow you to receive data about other vessels in your area but will not allow other vessels to ‘see’ you. A full transponder transmits and receives AIS data and therefore allows you to receive data about other vessels and for other AIS equipped vessels to see and receive information about your vessel.
