Abstract
A system for augmenting the coverage, information and robustness of an automatic identification system of ships incorporates standard AIS-type means, satellite links, coastal stations and processing centers handling the coordination of the means (maximizing the coverage of the system in time) and the processing of the data (merging of different information to create extended context information). The system implements a scheduling algorithm for the resources mobilized, in order to optimise the coverage by ensuring a given level of redundancy for the purposes of reliability and responsiveness of the system.
