If you ever wondered how ships are tracked then this is the video for you. The technology for broadcasting is not nearly as interesting as the technology for receiving the signal which includes 100s of satellites covering the globe.
In this video we go into everything about how it works, how the data is sent and received and how all that information gets to your computer in apps like Marine Traffic.

As a member of the original US Coast Guard's Nationwide AIS (NAIS) design team, I heartily endorse this video. There are a few AIS capabilities you left out or mentioned peripherally, like enhanced capabilities for DSC, and as a few other commenters have mentioned, airborne AIS, but this was extraordinarily thorough. One aspect unique to the USA is the history of resistance to and slow adoption of AIS by our maritime community. There are too many historical and cultural reasons for this to go into here. Fortunately, continually falling prices, increased features, and improved integration with other shipboard systems has dramatically lowered the bar. One point I would add about vessels turning off their AIS is that Coast Guards and militaries monitoring and patrolling their coastal waters and inland waterways around the world get very excited when radar, sonar, and video do not match-up with AIS data. The "Common Operating Picture" (COP) systems flag these targets and they become immediate high priority targets of interest. This was one of the major selling points for the US government (and others) post 9/11. From the civilian side, one of the major remaining problems with AIS is getting a MMSI (Maritime Mobile Services Identities, a unique vessel identifier) and having it programmed into your vessel's AIS devices. Purchasing a used vessel with AIS installed requires transfer of the MMSI or reprogramming of the ship's devices with a new registered MMSI which also creates a lot of headaches. Transferring ownership of homes, cars, and even websites is usually much easier.

Yo Sysman, Thanks so much for this video. This is the finest explanation of the complete AIS system I have ever seen. I'm a retired I.T. guy with 52 years of experience and I gleaned a massive amount of knowledge from your video. Keep up the hard work as I'm sure there are thousand of geek subscribers that loved digesting all this minutia.

Great video! You've stirred up some fond memories. I like you, served in the military. I had the honor of serving in the Coast Guard for ten years, the Air Force for eleven years, and the Space Force for one year before retiring. As I was watching your video I was reminded of the many operations I was involved with over the years in which I was intimately familiar with what you discussed. So, great job in putting the video and information together into an easy-to-understand package for the novice. Bravo! Keep up the excellent work.

10, 15 years ago I worked as a helicopter pilot on board a private yacht. We were upgrading to a new helicopter, and I got this brilliant idea to eqip it with AIS. It would only identify 20 targets at time, and one day flying down the coast of Spain it picked up a vessel off the coast of Algeria, over 180 miles away.

@dirtyeric 2 месяца назад

The elevation, or in your case the altitude, of your receive antenna is what allowed that long range intercept. This is why many countries utilize aircraft for the ISR and maritime surveillance and why when you are onboard the vessel you can hear the aircraft transmissions beyond LOS. I have received sea level reception of AIS of over 100nm but near the equator. There is also a phenomenon call Atmospheric Ducting, where the radio signal gets 'trapped' between two layers of air and is ducted long distances until the lower boundary layer degrades and allows the signal to pass through it.

I ordered a leather chair from India last year. I was able to track the container ship all the way to Norfolk, Virginia. Thank you for giving such a great explanation as to how that was possible. Some students at the local high school here in northernmost Maine got to follow the ship also. Great job.

@edwinjames6283 2 месяца назад

@@dzhiurgis The company here in the U.S. would best be described as a manufacturers representative. I ordered through them and they gave access to the tracking information as soon as it was loaded onto a container box, before even being loaded onto a ship. I thought it really cool having that knowledge . It took four or five months to receive my chair from the time I ordered it.

AIS technology is becoming more accessible to smaller vessels. I sailed on 2 sailboats under 50 feet last year. Both of them had class B AIS transponders. It allowed us to see the location, speed and direction of nearby vessels along with information about boat size, and even type of cargo. This significantly helped watches at night or during fog and rain.

To stop a lot of the deliberate avoidance tactics employed by some, why don't insurance policies automatically become void if a vessel turns off it's AIS transponder if underway.

A very interesting video indeed ! But allow me a question about the time it takes for a low orbit satellite to do one orbit. At 13:02 I hear the value of 45 min, I did a calculation which resulted in a different value. The force needed to keep an object in orbit equals the gravitational pull. m*v^2 / r = G*m*M / r^2 [1] mass of satellite m mass of earth M = 5.9722 * 10^24 kg gravitational constant G = 6.674 * 10^(-11) m^3 s^(-2) kg^(-1) radius orbit = (r(eq) + r(polar))/2 + h h is height of Iridium sat. = 780*10^3 m for r I take the average of equatorial and polar radius plus h = (12756+12714)/4 + 780 km = 7148 km = 7.148*10^6 m from [1] we eliminate m and multiply left and right by r with leads to v^2 = G*M / r v^2 = 6.6714* 10^(-11) * 5.9722*10^(-24) / 7.148*10^6 = 5.576*10^7 v = 7.467*10^3 m/s orbit time = 2*PI*7.148*10^6 / 7.467*10^3 = 6.015*10^3 sec = 100.25 minutes = 100 min 15 sec Did I make a mistake ? Note : my English is very limited, I hope my physics are better 🙂

Yes, I shipped a pkg from the states to a buyer in Australia, and bam..that was en route when the xmas tsunami hit Thailand...the pkg didn't arrive. After several phone calls, found out it shipped out of San Diego, more insistent phone calls, found out the particular ship, and that it was caught up, and docked in Singapore for repairs!! The pkg finally arrived, albeit 2 months later!! Australian buyer was insisting it would eventually turn up, and it did, whew, irreplaceable item. Anyway, I never knew ANY of what you've just taught me!! It's wonderful to have so much better an understanding of ship tracking, for far more serious issues than just a pkg! Thank you again, GREAT VIDEO ❤

@jfmezei 2 месяца назад

Many thanks on the explanation on how "Hey! Eye Yes" works with tdma and satellites. Recall you telling me it ws VHF only with no satellite connection and now I understand how the satellites get their feed. Out of curiosity, at what interval would a ship transmit its information? every second, every minute? every 5 minutes? every 10 minutes ? does that change depending on its location ( I assume less important in middle of ocean vs within a port). So a ship's device is a receiver as well and will "see" vessels nearby even if in the middle of ocean? Could satellite or land based station transmit to ships% (for instance "port of baltimore closed" when approaching the transmitter near the port). Or is this solely for ships to transmit their position in a unidirectional way?

@Rwalt61 2 месяца назад

Since AIS is a distributed network, obviously with transponders on ( privately owned) ships, isn’t it subject to spoofing or other ways of hacking, injecting false information in the system or worse?

Some ship's switch off their AIS, or set it to the mode that receives other ship's only without being identified.

The man who invented the SOTDMA was a Swede, Håkan Lans, a man that also invented color graphics on the computer screen and a very early version of the mouse. When he was 16 he built his own submarin and went down to the bottom in the Stockholm archipelago. When he came up, the military stood there and asked what he was doing! When it was time for him to do the military service, he was called up to the Minister of Defence, who said, -You are not going to be an ordinary soldier, you are going to the Swedish Defence Research Agency! There he got a room for himself and a bunch of money. -Do whatever you want, that can be good for us!

It's mind blowing to think about the amount of radio frequency that's around us. Ever car has a radio, every house a tv, every ship and airplane a radio, every person a phone.
