• Raises safety across the board
• Most desired feature
• Provides situational presentation
on bridge
• Technology exists
• Product evolving

Enhanced AIS
Waterway Info
Vessel Provides: ID, position,
course, heading, speed
Vessel Receives: Information
on vessels, port data, and
hazards in area
CG C2 Node
Alerts / Alarms
Watchstander
“Smart Tree”
• Low $ solution to many traffic management issues
– Maintain coverage in electronically blind areas
– Insert emergency information from a C2 Center
– May be integrated as part of NDS
• Single Infrastructure /Multi-Mission capability
– NOT a VTS but could transition to an emergency
VTS
– can remotely manage TSS, Maritime sanctuaries
