Nationwide Automatic Identification System (NAIS)

NAIS

The Nationwide Automatic Identification System (NAIS) will enable the USCG to identify, track and communicate with marine vessels using the Automatic Identification System (AIS), a maritime digital communication system that continually transmits and receives vessel data over very-high frequencies. AIS data collected by NAIS will be combined with other government intelligence and surveillance data to form a holistic, overarching view of maritime traffic within or near U.S. and territorial waters.

The Coast Guard awarded a contract on Dec. 22, 2008 for the first phase Increment 2 of Nationwide AIS, which will design and develop the core capabilities to expand AIS coverage to include transmit and receive for three Coast Guard Sectors:  Delaware Bay; Philadelphia; Hampton Roads, Va.; and Mobile, Ala.
