Main Features of Furuno FA-150 AIS:

This FA-150 set comes with a compact 4.5″ LCD display monitor, a transponder unit and a GPS antenna. The transponder works on a VHF transmitter, two TDMA receivers on two parallel VHF channels, a DSC channel 70 receiver, interface, communication processor, and internal GPS receiver. It has an internal 12 channel all in view GPS receiver with the differential ability also provides UTC reference for system synchronization to avoid a clash in case of multiple users. It also gives position, COG and SOG in case the external GPS fails.

The FA-150 is a universal AIS (Automatic Identification System) that is strongly capable of exchanging navigation and ship data between own ship and other ships or coastal stations. Furuno FA-150 complies with IMO and IEC regulations – IMO MSC.74(69) Annex 3, A.694, ITU-R M.1371-1, DSC ITU-R M.825 and IEC 61993-2 (Type testing standard), IEC 60945 (EMC and environmental conditions).

The FA-150 AIS system operates in three modes namely, autonomous which is a continuous operation in all areas, assigned meaning data transmission interval remotely controlled by the authority in traffic monitoring service and polled that is in response to interrogation from a ship or authority. Moreover, it is synchronized with GPS time to avoid conflict among multiple users (IMO minimum 2000 reports per minute and IEC requires 4500 reports on two channels). In addition to the local AIS frequencies, VHF channels 87B and 88B are commonly used. Shipborne AIS transponders exchange various data as specified by the IMO and ITU on either frequency automatically set up by the frequency management telecommand received by the DSC receiver on the ship.


Use of AIS in collision avoidance:

As an anti-collision aid the AIS has the following advantages over radar:
• Information provided in near real-time
• It is able to instantly represent target course alterations
• Not subject to target swap
• Not subject to target loss in clutter
• Not subject to target loss due to fast maneuvers
• FA-150 is capable of detecting vessels within VHF/FM coverage range, around bends and behind islands in some circumstances. When using the AIS for anti-collision purposes it is important to remember that the AIS is
an additional source of navigation information. It does not replace other navigational systems. The AIS may not be giving a complete or correct “picture” of shipping traffic in its vicinity. The use of the AIS does not negate the responsibility of the OOW to comply with all collision regulation requirements, especially the maintaining of a proper look-out. The
prudent navigator uses all aids available to navigate the ship.
