Introduction to AIS
Overview
AIS (Automatic Identification System) is a communication system for the
exchange of navigation data. An AIS station can be a ship station or a shore-side
base station. AIS stations operate without interaction by ship or shore personnel
(autonomous and continuous). AIS has evolved to include devices such as AIS as
a navigation aid, AIS on search and rescue aircraft and AIS search and rescue
transmitters (AIS SART).
