Shine Micro to Provide Airborne AIS

Port Ludlow, WA, June 2008 – Shine Micro, Inc., a leader in Automatic Identification System (AIS) technology and marine electronics, has introduced a new advanced AIS Receiver for Avionics, SA-161, to be deployed on board the “INSIGHT”, an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, (UAV) craft designed and produced by Insitu, Inc. of Bingen, WA. The “INSIGHT” UAV is widely deployed by the US Navy.

As a new low-cost solution, the SA-161 Avionics AIS Receiver, will provide Airborne AIS surveillance data of marine traffic to the US Navy via UAV targeted deployments saving valuable time and expense.

The SA-161 is designed as a high performance, light-weight, low-power, and low-cost solution, ideal for small payload applications.

Building on the success of the SM1610 AIS receiver, chosen and deployed by the US Coast Guard in 2007 for use in the Nationwide Automatic Identification System, (NAIS), the SA-161 is Shine Micro’s first released Avionics AIS product.
