Home > Situation Report (SITREP) for Vessels and Aircraft (encrypted)

Introduction/Additional information: 

The Situation Report Message is used to send the equivalent information to AIS Message 1 but removes less essential data to compress message size.

Usage Notes

  • This same report can be used for both vessels and aircraft.

Note: Only aircraft engaged in SAR (using SAR transponder) may transmit AIS.

  • The position report shall be transmitted once every 30 seconds when the unit has registered a speed over ground (SOG) of less than 3 knots for more than 3 minutes and once every 15 seconds when SOG is 3 knots or greater. Aircraft should transmit at 10- second intervals.

Version 0:

This is an RTCM compliant update of the FID 0 Message 25 listed in the Oct 2014 EAIS IDD. It also replaces the DAC 366, FI 56 Position Report from the same document.

Encrypted Situation Report (Message 26, Broadcast)

 

 

Parameter

# of Bits

Description

 

 

Standard Message Header

Message ID

6

Identifier for Message 26; always 26.

 

Repeat Indicator

 

2

Indicates how many times a message has been repeated. 0 – 3; 0 = default; 3 = do not repeat any more. Set to zero (default).

Source MMSI

30

MMSI number of source station. Varies according to the transmitter ID.

Destination Indicator

1

0 = broadcast (no Destination ID field)

1 = Addressed (30 bit Destination ID field). Set to 1 (addressed).

Binary Data Flag

1

0 = unstructured binary data (no Application Identifier bits used)

1 = binary data coded as defined by the 16-bit AI. Set to 1 (structured).

Destination ID

0

MMSI number of destination station. Not Used.

 

Spare

 

0

 

Not used.

 

 

 

 

Binary Data

 

Designated Area Code

 

10

Designated area code (DAC). Set to 366.

 

Function Identifier

 

6

Function identifier. Set to (decimal) 38.

Encrypted Payload

Version

3

Sequential number used to indicate the message version in steps of 1. 0 = test message = default; 1 – 7 = message version. Set to zero.

Time of Position - UTC Min

6

UTC Minute of the position.

0 – 59; 60 = UTC minute not available = default; 61 - 63 (reserved for future use).

Time of Position - UTC Sec

 

3

UTC Seconds of the position; 10-second resolution.

0 = 0 sec; 1 =10 sec; 2 = 20 sec; 3 = 30 sec; 4 = 40 sec; 5 = 50 sec; 6 = unknown = default; 7 = (reserved for future use).

Craft Flag

1

Indicates whether report is from a vessel or aircraft. 0 = vessel = default; 1 = aircraft.

Longitude

28

Longitude in 1/10,000 min (±180 degrees, East = positive, West = negative. 181 degrees = not available = default). Negative in 2’s complement.

Latitude

27

Latitude in 1/10,000 min (±90 degrees, North = positive, South = negative, 91 degrees = not available = default). Negative in 2’s complement.

Altitude

12

Altitude above sea level in 1m increments. Set to 0 for vessels.

0-4,000 m; 4001 = 4,001 m or higher; 4,002 = unknown = default.

COG

12

Course over ground in 1/10° increments.

0-359.9 degrees; 3,600 = not available = default; 3,601 – 4095 = reserved.

 

SOG

 

10

Speed over ground. Scale dependent on value of craft flag.

Aircraft: 0 – 1000 kts (1 kt increments); 1001 = 1001 kts or higher; 1002 = not available = default; 1003 – 1023 = reserved.

 

 

 

 

Operational Status

 

 

 

 

4

Operational status of the craft reporting. 0 = unknown = default

1 = ops normal

2 = on scene as directed 3 = returning to port/land 4 = awaiting instructions 5 = Bravo at home port

6 = Bravo at port other than home 7 = Charlie, homeport

8 = Charlie, in repair 9-15 reserved.

Encryption Bit Padding

22

Sufficient spare bits to ensure that the binary data is a multiple of 128 bits for block encryption. Set to 0.

Checksum

16

16-bit CRC calculated as per EAIS Specification

Footer

Spare

4

Four extra bits to ensure the message ends on a byte boundary. Set to zero.

Communications State Selector

1

0 = SOTDMA communication state follows 1 = ITDMA communication state follows

 

Communications State

 

19

SOTDMA communication state (see ITU 1371-5 § 3.3.7.2.1, Annex 2), if communication state selector flag is set to 0, or ITDMA communication state (§ 3.3.7.3.2, Annex 2), if communication state selector flag is set to 1.

Total bits

224
