The performance standard, technology standard and testing standard have been issued in 15 years from 1992, when many compelled measures have been made. The demands of fixing AIS facility has been into the Shipping Amendments of SOLAS(or named "New V Chapter"), according to which all international ships(=300tons), all national cargo ships(=500tons), and all passenger ships must be fixed with AIS equipment from July 1, 2002 to July 1, 2008.From this we can easily forecast that AIS will be the 21st's equipment in the world.

The other countries have been studying on it, and have obtained some experiences and harvests. So do our country. To have more cognition about AIS and its network, the dissertation presents the following points at large based on abundant datas.(1) Lays out the principle and technology AIS base station;(2) Deeply studies the network architecture, the netting transport protocols of AIS, and analyses its transport information;(3) Presents the frame and the principles of the network router, BS controller used in AIS hardware, and analyses the contents of their managements in particular;(4) Sums up the AIS applications in Shipping Automatic Anti-collision system, VTS system, Aids to Navigation System;(5) More attentions on network security, and briefly presents AIS's applications on the system of marine safety information.
