APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) enables real-time repeat* or forward positioning and data of ground tracking equipments, such as vehicles, animals, etc. AIS (Automatic Identification System) Receiver payload will pick up vessels position that use an AIS A/B channels transponder. APRS / AIS dual payload module, effectively tracks and collects a large number of land and sea (surface) objects to achieve acquisition of APRS / AIS data globally.

Applications:

The Double-A (APRS / AIS) payload “Real Time Repeater” / “Store & Forwarding” applications are:

◆ APRS - Vehicle and vessels positioning with data collection

◆ APRS - Ecological & seismic / tracking & detection: birds, animals, landslides

◆ APRS - Ocean windmills, widespread area power grid management

◆ AIS - Sea surface drifts, ocean current tracking and tide wave change monitoring
