Automatic Identification System (AIS)

AIS is marine automatic identification system for floating units. AIS device installed on boat is connected with the on-board IP-network. Operational modes of the secure AIS:

  • Normal – data reception and transmission, no encryption
  • Silent – data reception non-encrypted and encrypted, no transmission
  • Tactical – data reception of non-encrypted and encrypted, transmission encrypted only
  • Hybrid –  data reception of non-encrypted and encrypted, transmission of position non-encrypted

On-board Integrator

Function of on-board integrator is performed by IP Tactical Radio Access (BSR-IP). It provides all services required on the premises of the command posts and combat installations.

BSR-IP provides integration of transmission media and coupling the radio network combat net with IP systems. It offers a wide spectrum of communication services, including the functionality of the communication server.

Power supply

Power supply for the elements: DC 12 V – 27 V. Power consumption from external sources during operation of this equipment does not exceed 200 W.
