Telemar (UK) - Marine Navigation

AIS Automatic Identification System Model FA-100 AIS is designed to improve the safety of the navigation and efficiency of ships, environment protection and the operation of Vessel Traffic Services, satisfying functional requirements: Ship-to-ship mode for collision avoidance A means for littoral states to obtain information about ships and its cargo VTS (Vessel Traffic Services) tool - ship-to-shore traffic management Furuno AIS provides a standalone transponder display, on Radar and ECDIS Class A Universal AIS complying with IMO MSC. 74(69) Annex 3, IEC 61993-2, ITU-R M.1371-1 Target ship's CPA/TCPA, COG/SOG, name on the basic scrolled LCD display Extensive AIS target data on radar; target signals complying with IMO SN.circ.217 Interfaces for radar, ECDIS, PC. Future expansion - LAN and Long Range AIS operation. Built-in GPS receiver for UTC synchronisation and back-up position fixing Heading information by GPS compass SC-60/120 or gyrocompass Existing radars FR-15x5 MK3, FR-21x5 and FAR-28x5 series can be upgraded for AIS target view by retrofitting the RP card The FA-100 is a universal shipborne AIS capable of exchanging navigation and ship data, ship-to-ship and ship to coastal stations. It complies with IMO MSC.74(69) Annex 3, A.694, ITU-R M. 1371-1 and DSC ITU-R M.825. It complies with IEC 61993-2 (Type tested standard), IEC 60945 (EMC and environmental conditions).

	The AIS enhances detection of other ships and A-to-N (aids to navigation) on radar screen. AIS targets are visible even if they are behind large ships, islands or points. AIS is not obscured by the sea clutter and rain clutter. Possible to predict course change of large ships by displaying ROT at tip of COG/SOG vector. The AIS target symbols can be overlaid on the radar FAR-28x5 series (with RP-340), FR-21x5 series (with RP-250) and FR-15x5 series (with RP-180). The new RP radar plotting modules provide practically unlimited number of AIS targets together with ARPA symbols. Operational concept is common to all RP-modules. Place the cursor on an AIS target of interest and hit the AIS Data key, and the relevant data is visible on the data area below the ARPA data cell. If multiple AIS symbols mask the ARPA and radar picture, you can sleep the AIS targets. The triangle symbols get smaller for positive observation of ARPA symbols. The AIS target symbols appear as defined by the SN/Circ.217 as follow: AIS COG/SOG vector changes its length with speed and adjustable in cycle time. ROT marks are viewable at the COG/SOG vector tip when a target ship is equipped with a Furuno GPS compass SC-60/120
