Agenda Innovations in Maritime Traffic Management Saabs perspective in the MONALISA project MONALISA is a Motorways of the Sea project and Saab is a technology partner Next generation AIS - AIS 2.0 for year 2020 Capacity in todays AIS will reach its limits Software Radios for legacy AIS and AIS 2.0 New technology innovations Co-financed by the European Union Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) AIS: Automatic Identification System, in operations since 2002
Saabs perspective in MONALISA project MONALISA is a Motorways of the Sea project and Saab is a technology partner Saab supports MONALISA project with AIS, VTMIS and ECS technology plattforms both software and hardware. Saab delivers AIS technology globally. Currently Saab has supplied 20,000 AIS ship systems, base stations and airborne AIS systems. Delivers AIS networks, VTMIS & ECS systems globally. Installations regionally or nationally in 30 countries. Dynamic Route software design in VTMIS and onboard, using the landbased CoastWatch VTMIS and seaborne SeaWatch ECS. Route exchange software design (via AIS and satellite) between CoastWatch VTMIS and SeaWatch ECS. New E-navigation technology based on a new AIS software radio. Responsible for crypto & server technology for the officers certificates based on Secure AIS technology VTMIS: Vessel Traffic Management and Information System ECS: Electronic Chart Systems E-Navigation: IMO E-navigation strategy

Next generation AIS AIS 2.0 for year 2020 Capacity in todays AIS will reach its limits Todays AIS has been operational for 10 years. Some 100,000 ships using AIS today. In some traffic dense areas the AIS data link capacity is reaching the limits and garbling occur effectively reducing ship-to-ship or ship-to shore communication distances. Faster AIS channels will benefit not only dynamic and proactive routing but also future e-navigation functions in general. Today AIS channel bitrates is 9,6 Kbit/s and new faster waveforms will be in the order of 40 Kbit/s. The technology that could both handle legacy AIS and AIS 2.0 and other waveforms is called software radio. Software radio = app technology on radio level. 100 Msps @ 16 bits See the software radio technology live in the SMA stand

MONALISA Operational Concept Description (2 min speech): The MONALISA STCC (Sea Traffic Control Centers) concept has the potential to be the future key stateof-the-art maritime surveillance technology by active control large sea areas and the ship traffic there like the traffic in the Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean or in the Great Barrier Reef. Key future technology are dynamic routing of ships. If all ships in an area sail with a verified and identified active route and valid onboard officers certificates this will enhance safety, security and the environment. About safety: Ships will distribute their active route to close quarter ships via AIS. Technically this will be performed by AIS interrogation and the interrogator ship will get the active route 5 nmi ahead. The complete active route will be communication secured by crypto technology, but the first 5 nmi of the route will be open transmission following the guidelines of today s AIS. The STCC will active control the ensemble of all routes in an area and transmission of routes on high sea will be performed by secured communication via satellite communication. About security: If ships divert from the verified and identified active route without notice or choose to not participate in the system this will be a notice of concern and could be handled by security bodies outside traffic control centers. About environment. If ships using environmentally optimized active routes they can minimize the carbon footprint but also go around sensitive areas.
Aim of workshop The workshop will bring together state-of-the-art surveillance technology providers and a wide range of users in the maritime field to debate how technologies for controlling activities in the maritime domain can contribute to the aims of integrated maritime policy and respond to the needs of stakeholders by providing a range of new services. Held over 2 slots to allow maximum discussion, the workshop will be organised as an interactive debate around concrete examples and successful projects, with active audience participation.
