AIS solutions such as base stations and infrastructure from Saab have been selected by a large number of maritime administrations and VTS operators worldwide. Interoperability proven. The user-friendly multi-purpose display unit, outstanding interfacing capability and data validation ensure safe operation when connected to navigation sensors, radar and electronic chart systems.
AIS products from Saab are specifically designed to support the mariner in mission-critical decision making. The R4 Class A transponder will satisfy all carriage requirements, but more importantly it will provide better situation awareness to the officer onwatch. In the smaller vessel, the unique simplicity and versatility of the man-machine interface will allow the operator to carry out all important tasks required to operate the AIS system, using the multipurpose display unit only. In the integrated bridge system, the R4 will feed reliable data to virtually any electronic chart system and/or radar, and thus vastly improve the quality of the information presented. Predefined saftey-related text messages will assist in quickly notifying other ships and VTS stations in a distress situation.
Furthermore, the R4 vessel transponder offers unprecedented VHF radio coverage, thus allowing the mariner to see further ahead. Users of Saab AIS products have been providing feedback for years. This feedback is constantly used to further enhance world-leading solutions.
