Features
The FA-100 is a universal shipborne AIS (Automatic Identification System) capable of
exchanging navigation and ship data between own ship and other ships or coastal stations.
It complies with IMO MSC.74(69) Annex 3, A.694, ITU-R M.1371-1 and DSC ITU-R M.825.
It also complies with IEC 61993-2 (Type testing standard), IEC 60945 (EMC and
environmental conditions).
The FA-100 consists of VHF/GPS antennas, a transponder unit and several associated
units. The transponder contains a VHF transmitter, two TDMA receivers on two parallel
VHF channels, a DSC channel 70 receiver, interface, communication processor, LCD
display, and internal GPS receiver. The internal GPS is a 12-channel all-in-view receiver
with a differential capability, and provides UTC reference for system synchronization to
eliminate clash among multiple users. It also gives position, COG and SOG when the
external GPS fails.
The LCD panel displays all required information about static data, dynamic data,
voyage-related data and short safety-related messages. The information and messages
are automatically updated according to the ITU-R M.1371-1, e.g., static information every
6 min and on request, dynamic information every 10 s on ship faster than 3 kt and 3.3 s
when changing course at 0-14 kt, etc.
iii

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
System overview
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) was originally developed to aid the Vessel
Traffic Services (VTS) by use of a VHF transponder working on Digital Selective Call
(DSC) at VHF CH70, and is still in use along the UK coastal areas and others. Some time
later the IMO developed a Universal AIS using the new sophisticated technology called
Self-Organized Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) based on a VHF Data Link
(VDL).
The system operates in three modes – autonomous (continuous operation in all areas),
assigned (data transmission interval remotely controlled by authority in traffic monitoring
service) and polled (in response to interrogation from a ship or authority). It is
synchronized with GPS time to avoid conflict among multiple users (IMO minimum 2000
reports per minute and IEC requires 4500 reports on two channels). The VHF channels
87B and 88B are commonly used and in addition there are local AIS frequencies.
Shipborne AIS transponders exchange various data as specified by the IMO and ITU on
either frequency automatically set up by the frequency management telecommand
received by the DSC receiver on ship. VHF transmit power is also set up for 12.5 W or
2 W automatically.
AIS-fitted AtoN broadcasts its
identification, type of operation,
location, displacement, etc. at
3 min intervals or at a reporting
rate designated by the
Administration authorities.
Aids to
Navigation
(AtoN)
Static and Dynamic information incl.
MMSI, Name, POSN, HDG, COG, SOG
Interrogation and Response
Own ship
All ships broadcast Static and Dynamic information (autonomous and
continuous mode). If OS wants to know information about ship 1, OS shall
send an interrogation in polling mode; then ship 1 will transmit her
response on the same VHF channel without operator intervention.
VTS Center transmits TDMA CH
management message including
code, type, position, etc. of buoys
every 3 min, and the AtoN broadcasts
these messages for ships.
VTS center
The VTS center transmits a command on
frequency assignment, slots, report rate,
VHF output power, channel spacing, etc.

vii
Not all ships carry AIS
The Officer of the Watch (OOW) should always be aware that other ships, and in particular
leisure craft, fishing boats and warships, and some coastal shore stations including Vessel
Traffic Service centers might not be fitted with AIS.
The OOW should also be aware that AIS fitted on other ships as a mandatory carriage
requirement might be switched off by professional judgment of the master. Thus, users are
therefore cautioned to always bear in mind that information provided by AIS may not be
giving a complete or correct “picture” of shipping traffic in their vicinity.
Use of AIS in collision avoidance
As an anti-collision aid the AIS has the following advantages over radar:
• Information provided in near real-time
• Capable of instant presentation of target course alterations
• Not subject to target swap
• Not subject to target loss in clutter
• Not subject to target loss due to fast maneuvers
• Able to detect ships within VHF/FM coverage, including in some circumstances, around
bends and behind islands.
When using the AIS for anti-collision purposes it is important to remember that the AIS is
an additional source of navigation information. It does not replace other navigational
systems. Once again, remember that the AIS may not be giving a complete or correct
“picture” of shipping traffic in their vicinity.
The use of the AIS does not negate the responsibility of the OOW to comply with all
collision regulation requirements, especially the maintaining of a proper look-out. The
prudent navigator uses all aids available to navigate the ship.
Erroneous information
Erroneous information implies a risk to other ships as well as your own. Poorly configured
or calibrated sensors might lead to incorrect information being transmitted. It is the user’s
responsibility to ensure that all information entered into the system is correct and up to
date.
viii
SPECIFICATIONS OF THE U-AIS TRANSPONDER FA-100
The AIS shall improve the safety of navigation by assisting in the efficient navigation of ship’s,
protection of the environment, and operation of Vessel Traffic Services (VTS), by the functions of

The FA-100 should be powered while underway or at anchor. The master may
switch off the AIS if he believes that the continual operation of the AIS might
compromise the safety or security of his ship. The AIS should be restarted
once the source of danger has disappeared.
The equipment transmits own ship static data within two minutes of start-up
and it is transmitted at six-minute intervals. Static data includes MMSI number,
IMO number, call sign, ship name, ship length and width, ship type and GPS
antenna position.
In addition to static data, ship’s dynamic data is also transmitted. This data
includes position with accuracy, SOG, COG, rate of turn, heading, etc. Dynamic
data is transmitted ever 2 s to 3 min depending on ship’s speed and course
change, voyage-related data, such as ship draft, hazardous cargo, destination
and estimated time of arrival, are transmitted at six-minute intervals.
