• GPS-receiver,<br />

• VHF-transceiver,<br />

• Computer.<br />

The GPS-receiver provides accurate position and navigation data, the computer packs this information together and<br />

broadcasts the data on a digital data link via the VHF-transceiver. All vessels within VHF range equipped with an AIS<br />

transponder can receive this message, unpack it, and plot the position, vessel name (references), speed over ground,<br />

course over ground of the other vessels..<br />
