A NETWORK OF RECEIVING STATIONS MONITORS SHIPS ON THE SEA COAST AND ANTARCTICA
The Maritime Traffic Naval Command deployed a network of twenty receiving
stations Automatic Identification System (AIS) for monitoring ships along
the coastline and Antarctica, the Ministry of Defense. Knowledge of
identities and positions of ships within the area of responsibility of
the Argentine State is crucial to develop effective missions maritime
search and rescue. To this end, the Naval Command Transit Sea of
Argentina Navy (MBTOC) uses various monitoring systems that allow you to
remotely, automatically and with little delay have information on ships in
navigation, which allow develop the picture surface of the territorial
waters and national interest. Among them it stands out the ship AIS, that
although it was designed and applied in order to avoid collisions between
vessels, obtains data receiving stations installed in coastal areas and
allows coastal states to obtain information on the identification and
position ships within 30 nautical miles. MTOC, together with the Computing
Service of the Navy, currently implements a network that has twenty
stations in relevant geographic locations. Through internet is transmitted
in real time AIS information emitted by ships to a server, which is the
only country that graphically displays the positions on the Official
Navigational Charts of Argentina, those of the Naval Hydrographic Service
(SIHN) . The data is processed and integrated with other sources that
account COTM such as Identification and Tracking System Long Range Ships,
known as LRIT administered by the Argentina Naval Prefecture; Integrated
Control System Fishing Activities (SICAP), the AIS Network BEDS (MERCOSUR)
and the satellite system AIS (S-AIS).
