Information to be received
Acquisition and tracking of traffic around your vessel is
absolutely necessary for safe and efficient navigation.
FURUNO’s FA-30 AIS Receiver provides navigational data about
other AIS-equipped vessels, increasing your situational
awareness and allowing you to navigate more safely.
The FA-30 incorporates real-time AIS information into your
radar, chart plotter or a PC. AIS targets are displayed with
SOG/COG vector, which aids you in recognizing possible
collisions and grasp the navigational situation at a glance,
even in congested waterways. Closest Point of Approach
(CPA) and Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA) can be
computed and displayed on-screen.
The FA-30 outputs AIS data to NavNet 3D and NavNet vx2
series as well as to PC with AIS Viewer software via an Ethernet
connection. The FA-30 can also be interfaced with a FURUNO
radar or chart plotter via NMEA0183 format to supplement
those systems.
