7.1 WHAT IS AIS?
AIS permit the non-verbal exchange of navigation information between vessels
and shore-side vessel traffic centers. AIS uses digital radio signals to
broadcast information about the vessel to other ships and shore based stations
via dedicated VHF frequencies in the maritime band.
AIS will not replace radar because it is unable to detect landmasses and
navigational beacons, but it can be used as a significant enhancement to
currently available technology.
