4. AIS OPERATION
4-2
*: Includes AIS-SART, AIS MOB and EPRIB-AIS.
If a new AIS object is received after reaching the processing or display capacity, this
radar processes the object as follows:
• AIS targets: When reaching the processing capacity, a new AIS is ignored. When
reaching the display capacity, this radar displays a maximum number of AIS objects
nearest to the own ship
• AIS data report/AIS locating device/AIS synthetic target: When reaching the pro-
cessing or display capacity, a new AIS is ignored.
The frequency for update of AIS transponder-sent data depends on speed and course
of tracked AIS object. The table below shows the IMO standardized reporting rates for
the AIS transponder. Based on the table below, the radar defines which AIS objects
are in tracking or lost. When you acknowledge a lost alert, the corresponding AIS sym-
bol will be removed from the display.
