Product Overview
Figure 1- AIS Network
1.1
Introduction
An Automatic Identification System (AIS) is an automatic tracking system used
on ships for identifying and locating vessels in a geographical area by
electronically exchanging data with other nearby ships and AIS base stations that
are located on the shore. AIS information enhances marine radar, which is the
primary method of collision avoidance for marine transport.
An AIS-equipped system on board a ship presents the bearing and distance of
nearby vessels in a radar-like display format. Information provided by AIS
equipment, such as unique identification, position, course, and speed is
displayed on a screen such as an Electronic Chart Display (ECDIS).
AIS is intended to assist a vessel's navigation officers and allow maritime
authorities to track and monitor vessel movements. AIS integrates a
standardized VHF transceiver with a positioning system such as a GPS receiver,
with other electronic navigation sensors, such as a gyrocompass or rate of turn

(ROT) indicator. Vessels fitted with AIS transceivers can be tracked by AIS base
stations located along coast lines or, when out of range of terrestrial networks,
through satellites that are fitted with special AIS receivers.
The International Maritime Organization's International Convention for the Safety
of Life at Sea (SOLAS) requires AIS to be fitted aboard international voyaging
ships with a gross tonnage of 300 or more, and all passenger ships regardless of
size.
1.2
Types of AIS
There are several types of AIS devices:






Class A transceivers - These are designed to be fitted to commercial
vessels such as cargo ships and large passenger vessels. Class A
transceivers transmit at a higher VHF signal power than class B
transceivers and therefore can be received by more distant vessels. They
also transmit more frequently. Class A transceivers are mandatory on all
vessels over 300 gross tons on international voyages and certain types of
passenger vessels under the SOLAS mandate.
Class B transceivers - Similar to Class A transceivers in many ways, but
are normally lower cost due to the less stringent performance
requirements. Class B transceivers transmit at a lower power and at a
lower reporting rate than Class A transceivers.
AIS base stations - AIS base stations are usually land based and used
by Vessel Traffic Systems to monitor and control the transmissions of AIS
transceivers. They may be installed stand alone or integrated into a
network for data gathering and analysis.
Aids to Navigation (AtoN) transceivers - AtoN's are transceivers
mounted on buoys or other hazards to shipping which transmit details of
their location to the surrounding vessels.
AIS receivers - AIS receivers receive transmissions from Class A
transceivers, Class B transceivers, AtoN's and AIS base stations but do
not transmit any information about the vessel on which they are installed.
Airborne AIS - These transceivers are installed in Search and Rescue
(SAR) fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft and can receive AIS messages
at much longer distances while at altitude.

System Overview
The L-3 PROTEC is an Automatic Identification System fully compliant with the
IMO specifications. The Transceiver has been developed using the latest
Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology and employs Self Organized Time
Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) and DSC controller schemes to provide a
high performance, automated and reliable identification system for commercial
mariners.
The Transceiver is a fully automated system which ties into ship’s navigational
instruments to provide automatic transmission of ships identity, status, and
maneuvering intentions via standard marine VHF communication techniques.
Sequencing of transmission between all vessels within VHF range is provided
through SOTDMA controlling software to handle high traffic volume situations.
The Transceiver is a fully automated system. This means that once it is installed
and turned on, no maintenance is required to keep it operational. The only time
the user needs to perform any function on the Transceiver is to change the ship’s
Vessel/Voyage data as required.
The compact, single-box design allows the L-3 PROTEC to be easily
incorporated into any bridge layout thus simplifying installation and cabling
requirements. The L-3 PROTEC has been designed as maintenance-free unit
which makes extensive use of surface mount technology (SMT). The repair of
printed wiring assemblies (PWAs) containing SMT components requires
specialized factory equipment, training, and techniques, therefore, such PWAs
are not field-repairable.

2.1.1 Mount the Transceiver and MKD


The PROTEC can be installed in a trunnion bracket or in a flush mount
bracket. Ensure that the unit is installed with adequate clearance to all
connectors on the rear of the unit.
If a trunnion bracket is used, the mount itself can be used as a template to
mark the screw holes on the mounting surface.
Note: Consideration must be given to the location of the PROTEC relative
to any nearby compass. The PROTEC is certified for a "compass
safe distance" of one meter. Install the unit at least one meter away
from any compass used for navigation.

2.1.2 Mount the Junction Box or Terminal Strip
A junction box or terminal strip is one method to connect the NMEA data output
from a ship sensor (DGPS, ROT, SOG, Heading, and Gyro). They allow
flexibility in completing the connection to the ship’s sensors which may not have
compatible pin-outs.
Position the terminal block or junction box with the following considerations:





Locate within 2.5 meters (100 inches) of the transceiver, which is
mandated by IEC
Can be easily accessed in order to make connections for the input and
output feeds
Protected from weather and high heat
Protected from accidental contact with conductive material
Provides grounding of the terminal block to the ship’s structure
2.1.3 Connect Ships Sensors and Data Interfaces
The PROTEC transceiver has seven NMEA0183 (IEC61162-1 / IEC61162-2)
data ports for connection of ship’s sensors and display equipment. There are
three input ports for ship’s sensor data and four bidirectional ports for connection
of display equipment such as Radar, ECDIS, PC or multifunction displays.
It is recommended that an AIS compatible display as mentioned above is
connected to the transceiver for the display of AIS targets.
To comply with IMO regulations the AIS must be connected to speed over
ground (SOG), course over ground (COG), heading (HDG), rate of turn (ROT)
and position information sources.
All data input connections are optically isolated. BAUD rates are configurable for
all channels through the front panel menus. BAUD rates are: 4800, 9600, 19200,
38400, 57600 and 115200.

2.1.6 Install the VHF Antenna
When installing the VHF Antenna, consider the following:







In general, antennas should be located as high as practical on the vessel
and separated as much as possible from each other.
The VHF antenna should be placed in an elevated position with a
minimum of 2 meters’ of clearance from anything that is made with
conductive material.
The antenna should have a 360 degree line of sight to the horizon, free of
all large, vertical obstructions.
It is preferable that the VHF antenna is installed at least 3 meters away
from high power energy sources, such as radar and other transmitting
radio antennas. The antenna must be out of the transmitting beam.
Ideally, there should not be more than one antenna on the same
horizontal level.
The VHF antenna should be mounted directly above or below the ship’s
primary VHF radio/telephone antenna, with a minimum of 2 meters of
vertical separation. If the VHF antenna is located on the same level as
other antennas, the distance between them should be at least 10 meters.
The VHF antenna cable should be kept as short as possible to minimize
signal loss. High quality, low loss coaxial cable should be used.
Note: Use only high quality RG213/RG214 coaxial cable to reduce signal
attenuation.
165M2040-10 Rev. A
Page 24
Figure 10 - VHF Antenna Installation
To install the VHF antenna:






Follow the antenna manufacturers' installation instructions.
Position the antenna mounting bracket on a rigid and structurally sound
surface.
Install the antenna on the antenna mount.
Run the coaxial cable from the antenna to the transceiver.
Trim the cable to the proper length leaving a few extra inches at the
transceiver.
Terminate both ends of the cable with the proper connectors. A PL-259
coaxial connector should be used for connection to the transceiver.
WARNING
Do not approach the antenna closer than listed below when it is
transmitting.
The antenna emits radio waves that can be harmful to the human body.

2.1.7 Connect the GPS Antenna
The internal GPS receiver provides timing data required to synchronize
transmissions. The ship’s position information is fed to the Transceiver in NMEA
format from the ship’s External Electronic Position Indicating System through the
IEC data cable.
The internal GPS requires that a dedicated GPS antenna be mounted on the
superstructure and the appropriate connections are made to the back panel of
the Transceiver.
The correct installation of a GPS antenna is crucial to the operation of the
Transceiver, because the synchronization of transmissions relies on the accuracy
of the time signal obtained from the GPS.
When installing the GPS Antenna, consider the following issues.





The GPS antenna should have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky.
Since GPS signals can be affected by RADAR and SATCOM
transmissions, the GPS antenna should be positioned at least 5 meters
away from RADAR and SATCOM antennas. It should be placed outside of
the beam path.
GPS signals can be affected negatively by radio transmissions, so the
GPS antenna should be positioned at least 3 meters from them.
To prevent ice or spray from negatively affecting signal reception, the GPS
antenna can be mounted flat onto any surface, but it is recommended that
it be elevated from the deck surface by 20 to 30 centimeters.
Certain makes and models of TV antennas can drastically interfere with
GPS reception. Be careful to place the GPS antenna as far away from
shipboard TV antennas as possible, and make sure that antennas used on
board do not exhibit GPS interference problems.
Note: Use only high quality RG213/RG214 coaxial cable to reduce signal
attenuation.

sensors such as ROT are not connected).
Press ESC to return to the NAV Display screen.
The transceiver must be configured with information about the vessel on which it
is installed prior to operation. Refer to section 4 - PROTEC Operation for details.
The following information is required:
 MMSI - Vessel MMSI number (Maritime Mobile Service Identity), this can
usually be found on the ships VHF radio license and should be the same
MMSI as used for the VHF / DSC radio.
 Name - Vessel Name (limited to 20 characters)
 Call sign - Vessel radio call sign (limited to 7 characters)
 IMO No. - Vessels IMO identification number (if applicable)
 Dimensions giving the location of the GNSS antenna connected to the AIS
transceiver (Internal GPS)
The PROTEC is now in service. It is to remain in service at all times when the
vessel is operating, unless given specific authorization to discontinue operation.
The only interaction with the interface should be to view surrounding ship traffic
information and to enter voyage data at the start of each voyage.

4.3.16 Set RS422 Termination Controls
Proper cable termination is very important for signal fidelity particularly over long
cable runs. If the cable is not terminated with its characteristic impedance,
reflections will distort the signal waveforms.
A switchable termination resistor is integrated at the receiver input to provide
proper termination to the data bus. This is ideal for use in networks where
grounds can take on different voltages. Isolation in the circuitry blocks high
voltage differences and eliminates ground loops and is extremely tolerant of
common mode transients between ground potentials. The circuitry also mitigates
the adverse effects of imperfect transmission line termination caused by stubs or
mismatched cables.
For normal installations where cable runs are relatively short and the cable
networks are simple this termination is not needed and should be left at the
default (disabled) setting.
165M2040-10 Rev. A

To enable the termination, arrow over to the desired IEC channel. Press ENT to
activate the field and press any arrow toggle through the two settings.

Antennas
Data sheets on the recommended external antennas are included here.
5.1
VHF
MODEL VHF-159 HD ANTENNA
The Morad Heavy Duty (HD) Marine VHF Antenna is designed to give years
of optimum performance under the most severe weather and vibration
conditions. Due to its excellent propagation pattern and low angle of
radiation, clipping and fading are minimized.
The design of this antenna enables it to consistently outperform its competitors.
Use of a larger diameter rod, instead of a small wire, decreases resistive losses
and provides an increased radiating surface.
The Model VHF-159 HD is base fed through a PL-259 UHF connector and a 50
OHM coaxial cable and can be mounted on any Morad 1" diameter stanchion for
extra height.
The antenna body is 1.5" o.d. painted aluminum tube and has a high tensile
strength stainless steel tip.
