The ACR Nauticast™ Portable AIS is the right solution for your fully autonomous AIS needs. This transponder is compliant for Inland and SOLAS applications. With a fully charged internal battery, the portable system can operate for 3 hours or indefinitely when connected to ship's power.
Interfacing with the ship's sensors and ECDIS displays is
made easy with the external case mounted ports and
optional cables. Built in WiFi allows for communication with
PC ECS software.
Nauticast™ Portable AIS improves shipboard safety by
providing information about AIS traffic that radar alone
can't. AIS target name, vessel type, MMSI, position, COG, SOG,
to name a few are available to ship's helmsmen on an
innovative 3-in-1 display. Choose from Alphanumeric, Radar or
Fairway view to display surrounding traffic and their ship's
data. Selectable range zoom functions along with target
sorting provide customizable views of surrounding traffic.
The ACR Nauticast™ Portable AIS transponder fully
corresponds to the technical specifications for the Universal
Automatic Identification System (UAIS) Transponder issued
by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The
Nauticast™ Portable AIS makes a significant contribution
to
maritime situational awareness.
Rugged Portability
The ACR Nauticast™ Portable AIS is designed for situations
where a fixed installation is not required or practical.
This is the perfect solution for mandatory short term
carriage compliance for bridge and lock tenders. The hard case
can withstand the rigors of the marine environment as well
as multiple deployments. Corrosion resistant IP65 rated
connectors enhance the system's reliability and
connectivity.
This unit is capable of being set up and running within minutes. Once the transponder is powered up and programmed with ship's static data, easy-to-install VHF and WiFi antennas complete the installation.
3-in-1 Graphical Display
The Nauticast™ Portable includes the innovative 3-in-1
graphical display with 3 different views at a fingertip:
Alphanumeric, Radar and Fairway view. With different
zoom-levels, this representation of the surrounding
traffic scenario can be selected directly using cursor
keys.
Man Overboard Emergency
Button
Man Overboard button automatically saves the precise
coordinates of the incident and generates an immediate
distress message to all AIS equipped vessels in the area.
Software Sensor Interfacing
The Nauticast™ Portable software enables you to
automatically check, read out/trace and evaluate the data
received from your sensor interfaces. All sensor inputs are
configurable and have built in test programs for evaluating
and troubleshooting your connections.
Fully Approved
The Nauticast™ Portable has been re-certified to meet all
SOLAS and IMO regulation including the new ITU -R M1371-3
requirements.
Enhanced GPS Sensitivity and
Reporting
With our new internal upgraded 16-Channel GPS Module,
the Nauticast™ Portable is more sensitive and accurate than
ever before. The RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitor)
receiver verifies the Nauticast™ unit's GPS data for increased
accuracy reporting.
Engineered Smart, Built
Strong
The cast aluminium transponder housing is rugged and
protects your AIS for years of life on the water. The
Nauticast™ Portable is rated to IP-65.
