Pilotaware Rosetta and seaborne AIS
« on: December 04, 2018, 01:25:11 pm »
To all the teck and software guys familiar with Android - and spending some time on the sea on boats when not flying ore elsewhere busy

My humble question is if the Rosetta system could be used to receive AIS signals on the sea, sending those to a smartphone wirelessly and whether there is a chance that something similar to the PilotAware browser address may exist where these signals can be decoded and displayed analogeous to what Pilotaware does on a Radarscreen.

I asked PilotAware whether they would not consider doing something like that themselfes. I think there might be a market since there are definitely more "sailors" around then pilots, especially in the UK but i guess actually nearly everywhere in the world.

Naive as i am i think connecting an antenna adapted to the 261 Mhz or so used by the AIS standard (roughly some 60cm or so) should already suffice to receive the AIS data which might be transmitted from Rosetta.

So its basically a question of software, i guess.

But unfortunately i am not an expert in these teck areas.

Best regards

Not on the PilotAware, but if you want to receive AIS there are various projects for receivers both on the Raspberry Pi and on Android tablets directly.

Try googling "rtl sdr ais".
