  • Patent number: 9842504
    Abstract: Systems and methods for vessel position reporting and monitoring. Methods and systems for augmenting e-Navigation messages to provide ancillary information, such as a history of previous vessel positions. A compact representation is provided, in which transmitters may select among a plurality of possible position layouts to provide a compact representation. Transmitted messages are received by a satellite or other surveillance platform employing a compatible radio frequency receiver to collect message signals over a large area or great distance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 9, 2017
    Date of Patent: December 12, 2017
    Assignee: exactEarth Ltd.
    Inventors: Christopher M. Short, Arunas G. Macikunas, Baljinder S. Randhawa, Margaret J. Browning, Balaji Kumar

  • Patent number: 9762265
    Abstract: Methods and systems for enhancing the detectability of electronic tracking messages are provided. Transmitters apply error protection encoding to the payload portion of messages to be transmitted. Transmitted messages are received by a satellite or other surveillance platform employing a compatible radio frequency receiver to collect message signals over a large area or great distance. Candidate messages are identified and the error protection encoding decoded to recover messages.

  • Patent number: 9094048
    Abstract: Methods and systems for enhancing the detectability of maritime e-Navigation messages are provided. Transmitters apply error protection encoding to the payload portion of messages to be transmitted, which are wrapped in a standard e-Navigation message format such as that used by the Automatic Identification System. Transmitted messages are received by a satellite or other surveillance platform employing a compatible radio frequency receiver to collect message signals over a large area or great distance. Candidate messages are identified and the error protection encoding decoded to recover messages.
