| Title | Secure Monitoring of Ship Location using VDES Technology and Satellite Communication |
| Summary | A VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) satellite payload with the AIS receive capability can remotely record and monitor the AIS reporting from the ships. The satellite payload can validate the ship’s location with its own location information when the AIS messages are recorded. The payload can further report the data logged to a remote hosted shore server via the Inter-Satellite Data Relay System (IDRS) via the Inmarsat BGAN network. The frequency of reporting can be defined by the use case requirements. The validation of the location information can be offloaded to a remote hosted server and the ships which have reported their location wrongly can be flagged out for further verification. A software module can be developed to decode the AIS Messages, derive and mark out the ship location on the map using ship reported AIS data, satellite position data in order to validate its location. |
