AIS-NSM Transponder: Naval Secure Mode for Warships — Enhanced Encryption, Anti-Collision, and VDES Data Exchange

Key Points

• The AIS-NSM transponder represents a naval-grade upgrade that enables automated ship-to-ship messaging over VHF, providing visibility into a vessel’s identity, current status, position, and intended route, while acting as a core anti-collision mechanism.
• Security and standardization are central: the Naval Secure Mode ensures protected communications, can be aligned with NATO STANAG requirements, and is adaptable to integrated secure networks; core capabilities include per-message encryption, community and access management, decoy and false-trail handling, target management, and control over transmission modes.
• VDES concept and data exchange: VHF Data Exchange System enables data sharing between ships and shore facilities via terrestrial or satellite links, with potential for autonomous operation and minimal shore support; it integrates existing AIS/ASM, supports language-independent data representations, includes data integrity checks and cybersecurity features, and emphasizes high availability and robust applications for positioning, tracking, and anti-collision workflows.
