The Nasa Marine AIS radar is the first stand alone AIS receiver / plotter specifically designed for the leisure boat market. The display, with ranges of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 nautical miles shows AIS carrying vessels in a format normally associated with conventional radar. The positions and the directions are clearly shown on the screen. A box to the right of the screen displays the speed over the ground, the vessel name, mmsi number and the latidude and longitude of any target selected by the user. The compact unit has a white backlit LCD display, operates from 12 volts and consumes little power. The Nasa Marine AIS Radar is easy to use and will br available later this season. It operates with 12V and needs an extra VHF antenna for receiving the AIS signals and a NMEA-GPS connection for plotting the positions relative to the own position. The compact size is 155 x 116mm and the Display is 113 x 66 mm. The position of an AIS-ship is shown clearly an you can see if it is on a collision course. Shipping with:
The AIS Blackbox should be conncted to an extra VHF receiver antenna and sends the data to the Yacht-AIS software and maptech Chart Navigator Prof. on the serial port (COM1-COM3). Additionally a GPS with a NMEA output gives his data to an other com port (COM1-COM3). Then other ships can be displayed on a radar like screen relative to the own yacht. If a ship entes a specified circle you can get an alarm. The screen can be switched to night mode. You can select north-up or course-up for intuitive use on board for a range of 0.25nm to 48nm. |
