The Nauticast™-B Automatic Identification
System (AIS) from ACR Electronics is a Class
B transponder that is designed to bring
you the best in bridge electronics. The
Nauticast™-B offers a great value and an
excellent feature set.
The Nauticast™-B is a black box solution
that comes to you as a compact, all-in-one
kit, providing you with space savings and
simplicity. The kit includes both VHF and GPS
antennas and ACR’s Link2AIS™ Software. The
Link2AIS™ Software may be installed on an
onboard PC, or third party software that is AIS-
capable may be used. The Nauticast™-B also
can be interfaced to chart plotters/Multi
Functional Displays (MFDs) which display
targets.
The transponder has an external Safety Related
Message (SRM) feature, with user configurable
messages. The transponder can be mounted
below deck for added convenience.
AIS increases navigational domain awareness
by transmitting vessel identification, position,
course, and speed to other AIS equipped
vessels and base stations. This helps reduce
the difficulty of identifying ships when not
in sight and understanding their navigational
intentions.
