Recently, there has been an increase in the use of Automatic Identification Systems. Class A AIS is used for ships engaged in international voyages, while Class B AIS is utilized for smaller vessels navigating domestic coastlines. AtoN AIS is used for aids to navigation, AIS is employed for search and rescue aircraft, and AIS-SART is widely used worldwide. Accordingly, in 2022, the Maritime Safety Committee(MSC) of the International Maritime Organization(IMO) revised the performance standards for the satellite emergency positioning radio beacon(EP IRB) to include AIS signals along with 121.5 MHz for aircraft, which has been used as a homing signal. It was recommended to use together as a homing signal, and from July 1, 2022, it was decided that AIS-EP IRB that satisfies the revised performance standards will replace the existing EP IRB. Consequently, starting from July 1, 2022, it was decided that AIS-EPIRB, which meets the revised performance standards, will replace the existing EP IRB. This paper aims to verify the feasibility of implementing AIS-EPIRB, which has not yet been developed domestically. To achieve this, a dedicated chipset for AIS was used to additionally implement frequency generation of 161.975 MHz and 162.025 MHz and GMSK modulation to satisfy the requirements.

최근 발생한 대형 해양사고 발생 시 선박이 침몰하면 선체를 찾는데 AKSG은 시간을 허비하여 임영의 구조에 필요한 골든타임을 놓치거나 선체 파공 부위의 봉쇄 조치의 지연 등으로 유류 노출에 의한 자연환경 파괴 등이 우려되고 있어, 현재의 해양사고 발생 시 긴급수색 및 구조시스템 외에 침몰선박의 위치를 알 수 있는 방법의 모색이 필용한 시점이다. 이 연구에서는 선박이 침몰하면 선박에 설치된 등 부표가 자동적으로 부양되면서 등부표에 설치된 등명기에서 형상과 빛 및 전파로서 사고 발생 위치를 알려주는 기술을 연구 개발하였다.

IMO and ITU-R have done an intensive study to develop performance standards and technical standards of maritime digital communication systems, respectively. In particular, each administration strives to develop new agenda items of adopting digital new technologies. IMO COMSAR submitted draft performance standard of LRIT to IMO MSC, so that IMO mandates carriage requirement of LRIT In addition to that, COMSAR is preparing performance standard of AIS-SART, and approved the utilization of mobile phones for SAR activities. On the other hand, a new agenda item concerning E-navigation strategy was submitted to MSC 81th meeting. These challenges toward enhanced maritime radio communication systems would make it change largely the concepts of traditional navigation We suggest future directions of maritime information communication systems, investigating the study results of IMO and ITU-R.
