Context Presentation

What is AIS (Automatic Identification System) ?

• AIS is an existing mandatory anti collision maritime communication system (VHF~160MHz) with a coverage of 30 nautical miles

• AIS is deployed today over more than 70000 ships

…150 000 ships should be equipped in 2030

Why collecting AIS signals from space?

• Permanent worldwide coverage

• Worldwide off-shore monitoring

• High integrity ships positioning information to detect spoofing

Capture by the satellite

TAS developments

• Commercial actual solutions have very bad performan ces in dense areas

• TAS is proposing High end solutions aiming at 95 % probability of detection:

• With new antenna design: adaptative beam forming

• With the use of improved and complex signal processing with decongestion techniques , including multi-slot processing

• With optional Argos feature : Doppler localization. As the satellite are in LEO, it is possible to localize with a bad precision the ship from the Doppler and time of arrival evolutions (Argos feature) and to compare it with the reported position to detect position spoofing

• High end payload to be embarked with Radar for exam ple

8 AIS patents issued by Thales

48

Conclusion

• AIS signal DE collision processing is a key issue

• A High End Solution for dense traffic situations

• Strong Thales Innovation (5 patents issued)

• High maturity of concept (heritage of ARGOS, SYRACU SE III, ESSAIM)

• AIS-X is a very interesting future system for navy' s

• AIS-X will be part of VDES

AIS-Satellite Technical excellence : the key for market leadership

VDES : Future extension of AIS for communications

A system to free AIS 1&2 for its exclusive safety anti-collision purpose

The increasing use of AIS binary messages by curren t actors shows there is a need for a dedicated service. And new actors may also be invol ved

It may be seen as the “communication” extension of the “safety” AIS system.

VDES (VHF Data Exchange System) is

• A set of communication means

• In VHF maritime band (156 MHz – 162 MHz)

• For bidirectionnal data exchange– between ships,– between ships and shore,– between ships and terrestrial operational centres

• Either in direct view or through a satelliterelay.

VDES: Key system elementsVDES: Key system elements

Similarities with Satellite-AISSimilar bands (in VHF maritime band)Signals exchanged by maritime users (ships, shore stations, …)To be collected by LEO satellites

Main differences with Satellite-AISLarger bandwidth (16 bands instead of 2)Lower institutional constraints : possibility to include non-institutional servicesSatellite downlink, and combination opportunity between uplink and downlinkStandard in-progress : good time to propose satellite communication solutionsMany applications : logistics, fishing, military, distress, safety

Opportunity for a new service, with improved benefits wrt AIS and a wide

range of user domains

Re-using + extending Fast deployment

VDESThe baseline system for short messaging

communications


51

VDES – services examples

Uplink:• Automatic monitoring (oil use, meteorological data, overall system quality

monitoring, engine performance (ships or offshore stations), fishing campaign position and results, UAV camera images, buoys collected data reports, …)

• Security alerts (weather reports, map error, piracy, engine failure, container fall, crew fall, collision, unreported buoys or floating object, …)

• Short messaging (personal messages, security-related messages, …)

Downlink:• Security alerts (similar to uplink)• Charts, weather reports• Mission commands and advises (route optimization, fishing optimization, …)• Localization aids (SBAS messages (attention to service areas !), assistance

Constraints : reliable/authentication/security/integrity/data privacy

The main limitation comes from small data rates (a few kbits/s), then excluding for instance video or large image flows.


52

Conclusion

VDES will include sat AIS and AIS-XVDES will allow opening to new data exchange public & private services The system is expected to be operational in ~ 2020TAS has won the unique ESA program to study in 2015 end-users requirements, market, and system definitionTAS participates to the ITU standard definition • System designed in order to be flexible • Few channels reserved for special communications• Possibility to include non-institutional servicesThe standard is expected to be endorsed in 2019, World Conference on Radio communications

Real lobbying to done level of OMI, IALA, ITUPotential cooperation:

• Development of Low price Nano/Micro sat solution driving the sensing mission and Data collect Market development

• Development of nano sat development, new beacons, applications and services providers , specifically on AIS-X

Summary story: The pirate boards a cargo offshore, neutralizes the crew, reroutes the cargo hidden (AIS off) towards a clandestine harbor to unload the freight / negotiates a ransom

Expected infos from a continuous coope + non-coope tra cking systemPost-attack clandestine cargo destination can be predicted in 1 to few hours: this guides Navies/ police to quickly act at sea / on land to catch pirates or know where they are hidden

Illustration: piracy scenario

56

AIS on

AIS off� track turns "red"

Regular trafic rail, cooperativeships � "green tracks"

Hunter behavior analysis before the attack, can warn the cargos cruising in the area

The attack itself is too short (<1h) to be captured

by the satellite: but this is not penalizing and

would be of little use !

Concept offering a very wide coverage, a high detec tion performance & a permanent operation

The radar is a ship detection radar with some ship imaging capability

• Specification wrt detection performances (not usual imaging quality)Very wide swath• 1000 km instantaneous coverageHigh detection performance (detectable ships size down to 15/20m)• Multi-looks (> 10 looks)Low power consumption (around 1.5 kW) + low data rate (a few Mbps)• Permanent operation of the payload over the orbit

Implementation of an innovative radar concept

57


Need of Low cost constellations

Persistent capability for surveillance is the issue and Gap to fill

A constellation of 20 satellites on quasi equatorial orbits and quasi polar orbits launched in only 2 times, offering around 1 h revisit time worldwide to perform an efficient vessel tracking

58

Need of constellation with innovative conceptLow cost platform : High reuse of heritage (compact platform,launch configuration, new implementation processes…) from theIridium-NEXT constellation for a fast and cost effectivedevelopment and deploymentInnovative ship Radar detection concept offering a very widecoverage, a high detection performance (15 m for a 200 km swathto 35 m for a 1000 km swath) and a permanent operationA Multiple launch (up to 10 satellites with one Falcon 9 launch)A and high detection probability of AIS signals even in denseareas

Conclusion

Maritime surveillance from space has a nice future

There are operational gap identified by end users,

We are at the beginning of the story and all cooper ation is welcomed

They won’t be seas without Space ( French SGMER)

The oceans will save the earth (French Ministry of environment)
