Abstract
Demands on security, safety, and environmental protection in worldwide shipping is steadily increasing. Shipboard broadcast transponders based on the automatic identification system (AIS) can be easily detected close to coast or waterway areas. Satellite-based AIS receivers detect globally but are limited in high density traffic areas. In this paper, a new possibility for worldwide AIS detection via airliners is presented. A first study is given towards the potential coverage of an airliner-based AIS detection. The usage of airliners as a complementary surveillance infrastructure for detecting AIS signals enables a comprehensive ship detection infrastructure for the future.
