Abstract :
Presented is a first exploratory investigation on the potential to use an automatic identification system (AIS) for multistatic passive coherent location applications. This concept can provide a low-cost maritime traffic monitoring capability to verify the AIS self-reported ship positions and to detect additional ships, still avoiding active emissions.
