Automated Identification System (AIS) uses wireless communication to monitor and respond to incoming signals between ships and shipping stations. While AIS in this case is mainly used to connect and protect the marine environment, our C-Scope can also be used to connect ships to aircrafts equipped with AIS.
Vessel Traffic Service monitors and controls the flow of traffic at sea. Consider it a traffic department for waterways.
There are two types of vessel traffic service options, one of which includes surveillance that is either equipped with AIS, radar or CCTV, while the other option includes manual reporting, where ships are required to share their identity and course details.
Satellite AIS is more advanced than terrestrial AIS since both are able to receive and respond to information from vessels but only satellite AIS allows for automated reporting, computerised vessel tracking and data storage.
E-navigation is a detailed strategy or process created to ensure a cooperative flow of operations between sea and shore. Effective e-navigation is essential to the safety of domains and the greater marine environment.
Racons are radar beacons (or radar transponders) used as markers for navigation and signalling maritime hazards. Solid State Racons differ from traditional racons since there are no physical moving parts, are highly shock resistant, and have the ability to switch at a rapid rate. Traditional racons are often considered easier to operate and install but require more power to operate.
A radar is an electromagnetic sensor used as a tracking device. They are commonly used to determine distance, shape, and faraway objects.
