OHB Technology AIS Satellite System

Bremen 2010

AIS SATELLITE
FOR MARITIME SURVEILLANCE
Developed by an Company
 TARGET

Automatic Identification of Vessels from Space through reception of

the vessel emitted AIS signal (global SOLAS standard)

 Allowing the detection, identification and tracking of vessels on global

scale over oceans and coastal areas
 Immediate downlink of data to coast guards and other customers
 Day and night reception of vessels data
 No additional equipment to be installed on vessels
 Possible Applications
 Civil
- Vessel traffic management
- Search & rescue
 Security
- Illegal fishing
- Customs fraud
- Defence
 Fully synergistic with EO-missions
for detection of vessels without AIS

 SATELLITE AIS AVAILABILITY

Orbcomm AIS
CDS: Coast Guard Demonstration satellite launched in 2008,
equipped with AIS receivers, prime OHB System, Payload OSC
QUICKLAUNCH: Six satellites, all equipped with AIS receiver,
AIS data for European Users available through LuxSpace to
European Customers on global scale and commercial basis

OHB Technology / LuxSpace AIS

Study for EU to demonstrate use and develop/test of new AIS
receiver
Application demonstrations with several users (MARISS, etc.)
LuxSpace has developed an AIS payload with unique
functionalities (AIS messages and sample the AIS frequency
A first payload is launched in April 2009 on board of PSLV
A second, more complex and advanced payload has been
transported to ISS in August 2009
Further payloads embarked on other satellites launched in
December 2009 to March 2010
Three AIS satellites will be launched in later 2010

Combining the different space assets will allow to capture AIS on

global scale every 3-4 hours

USER USER
USER

All contracting parties get access to LuxSpace AIS data based on existing and/or soon
launched space assets starting from the day of satellite contract signature to build up
and offer service to national customers
After the launch of their own asset, their AIS database will be connected to the
LuxSpace AIS database and databases from all other contracting parties thus
increasing the update capability
LuxSpace AIS alone: Global vessel information every 6 hours
LuxSpace AIS + 1-2 further country satellites: Global vessel information every 3 hrs.
LuxSpace AIS + 3-4 further country satellites: Global vessel information every 1 hr.

 COMMERCIAL CONCEPT

Multi-national approach (Joint Constellation):

Several partners in different countries - possibly of different continents or at least
3000 km distance between ground stations to avoid conflicts
Each partner uses the resources of all satellites including LuxSpace existing space
assets while only funding one or more - commercial and / or institutional use of
space assets within the respective zone of interest by contracting party
Typical area for a country joining in with one satellite is 3 Million square nm
Revenue shared for additional commercial customers outside cone of each partner
3rd parties wishing to access satellite constellation pay access fee shared by
satellite owners
Health of all satellites controlled centrally at Luxembourg as backup service

Complete package for each participant in the order of 4-5 M€ (depending on

launch vehicle) including
Access to LuxSpace AIS database until launch and afterwards until end of satellite
life
Micro satellite with AIS payload
Baseline UHF Band ground station for satellite tasking and data download
Baseline database & utilisation and storage kit
Launch
Initial user training

 BUSINESS OUTLINE

Initial Investment: appr. 5 M€ for AIS package

Potential sales to governmental and commercial entities in own cone
Additional stable revenues through share of common sales of capacities in
areas not covered - baseline 0.5 M€ per year for each capacity buyers

 ADVANTAGES FOR SATELLITE PARTNERS

Access to LuxSpace global AIS database from

day one after contract signature based on
LuxSpace AIS satellites already or soon in
orbit
Increasing update frequency with additional
satellites in constellation
Service cases for maritime, environment and
defence / security sectors offering large
commercial opportunities
Low investment for each partner while fully
profiting of highly advanced AIS based vessel
detection technology
No security issues for export
Further partners can join always increasing
revisit and robustness (reduce risk) of
constellation
Capacity buyers can procure access for
dedicated areas - revenues share by satellite
partners
Several countries around the world have
already expressed interest
