Simrad A150 AIS System

The Simrad A150 AIS transponder offers boat owners the most exciting new development in the safety of navigation. All large commercial vessels including ferries, cargo and passenger ships already carry AIS. Now Simrad has introduced the first compact Class B AIS with a colour display.

Class A transponders used on commercial ships have many features not needed by recreational users making them expensive. The class B standard offers all the visibility and benefits of the class A, without the complications. The result is that AIS is now affordable for all users.

Mounted at the helm, the A150 offers unsurpassed simplicity of operation and clarity of information.
The Simrad A150 shows information from other ships including:

IDENT: Shows ships name and MMSI
TYPE: Type of vessel, e.g. Tanker, Cargo, Pleasure, Sail etc.
CPA: Calculates Closest Point of Approach
TCPA: Calculates Time to CPA
COG: The selected vessel's present Course
SOG: The selected vessel's current Speed
HDG: The selected vessel's current Heading
ROT: The selcted vessel's current Rate of Turn
