  • Page 9: Introduction

    Introduction Introduction 2.1 About AIS The marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a location and vessel information reporting system. It allows vessels equipped with AIS to automatically and dynamically share and regularly update their position, speed, course and other information such as vessel identity with similarly equipped vessels. Position is derived from GLONASS or GPS and communication between vessels is by Very High Frequency (VHF) digital transmissions.

  • Page 10: Static And Dynamic Vessel Data

    Introduction 2.2 Static and dynamic vessel data Information transmitted by an AIS transceiver is in two categories: static and dynamic data. The vessel's dynamic data which includes location, speed over ground (SOG) and course over ground (COG) is calculated automatically using the internal GNSS receiver. Static data is information about the vessel which must be programmed into the AIS transceiver.
