Blue Force Tracking
Other vessels that are equipped with STEDS compatible AIS hardware, such as the AIS5000 are
displayed onscreen using Blue Force AIS target icons.
The following icons are used:
Blue Force vessel
Blue Force SAR
The Blue Force icons are used as long as:
• your MFD has a matching First responder passphrase.
• you have received a SITREP from them within the last 6 minutes.
• their AIS mode is not set to Receive only.
If the above conditions are not met then the target icon will revert to using the standard, Green
AIS target icon.
9.7 SITREP (Situation report)
SITREP status is transmitted and received over STEDS messaging so that other STEDS equipped
vessels using the same STEDS passphrase can see your status and you can see their status.
The current SITREP status is displayed in the Status area of the Homescreen. The SITREP status can
be changed by selecting Status: from the Status area Pop-over menu and then selecting a SITREP.
