FURUNO FA-170 Automatic Identification System
The FURUNO FA-170 Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a vital piece of marine navigation equipment that enhances safety and collision avoidance on the water. It transmits and receives vessel information, such as position, course, speed, and identification, enabling other vessels to track and avoid potential hazards.
Features
▶ Class A AIS transponder
▶ Clear 4.3″ color display
▶ Displays information about the AIS-equipped ships, as well as, coastal stations and Aids to Navigations within VHF coverage
▶ Outputs AIS data to ECDIS, radar and other navigational equipment for collision avoidance support
▶ Sufficient output ports for dual configuration of ECDIS and radar system
▶ LAN interface available for efficient network integration into a bridge system
▶ BAM (Bridge Alert Management) ready
Meets the specific requirements for alerts and interconnection with Bridge Alert Management as specified in IMO MSC.302 (87).
▶ Optional pilot plug available
▶ Receives AIS-SART signals for assisting in streamlining SAR activities
