Shine Micro, Inc. Partners with Ultra Electronics Advanced Tactical Systems, Inc. to Combine AIS and UAV Payload Technology for Global Observer Aircraft

Posted on Posted in Announcements

Port Ludlow, WA, March 23, 2010 – Shine Micro, Inc., an industry leader in Automatic Identification System (AIS) technology, has partnered with Ultra Electronics Advanced Tactical Systems (ATS), Inc. to add an AIS capability to ATS’ Tactical Communication Systems (TCS) package designed for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) payloads.

The new Shine Micro airborne AIS receiver will operate in the harshest of environments including extreme temperature, altitude, shock, vibration, and electromagnetic radiation.

Compared to vessel and base-station AIS receivers, airborne AIS receivers greatly enhance the coverage range and area of AIS surveillance. Altitude and airspeed enhance and increase AIS coverage range. Thus, larger areas can be monitored in a shorter amount of time, while providing valuable data to vessel and base-station monitoring systems.
