European enhanced space-based AIS system study

A recent study of an European consortium (TPZ, Carlo Gavazzi Space, Edisoft, Elman, ITS) led by Telespazio and co-financed by ESA has investigated about the possibility of receiving AIS signals (i.e., AIS transmissions of vessels equipped with regular AIS transponders) from space with an improved pe...

Summary:A recent study of an European consortium (TPZ, Carlo Gavazzi Space, Edisoft, Elman, ITS) led by Telespazio and co-financed by ESA has investigated about the possibility of receiving AIS signals (i.e., AIS transmissions of vessels equipped with regular AIS transponders) from space with an improved performance with respect to the current literature thanks to an optimized mission design and enhanced technical capabilities mainly in terms of antennas and signal processing. The performances is assessed by means of a dedicated end-to-end System Simulator developed during the project.
