AIS
The marine Automatic Identication System (AIS) is
a location and vessel information reporting system.
It allows vessels equipped with AIS to automatically
receive position, speed, course and vessel identity
information from other AIS-equipped vessels.
If an AIS device is connected, all targets detected
by the device can be displayed.
