Technology

vmsTRACK-PRO-CS features

The Weatherdock vmsTRACK-PRO-CS is a high-security vessel tracking system designed for governmental, military, and maritime law enforcement use. It provides encrypted AIS-based position reporting, stealth transmission options, and remote control capability, making it ideal for sensitive maritime operations.

Encrypted transmission

prevent interception or spoofing
Non-standard AIS message support – invisible to regular AIS receivers (stealth mode)

Remote activation/deactivation and configuration

Operation mode can be switched by sending a command remotely
Optional RFID integration for access control or area detection

High-precision GPS

for real-time precise tracking (position, speed, heading)

Encrypted transmission of data

prevent interception or spoofing

Remote activation/deactivation

Operation mode can be switched by sending a command remotely
Optional RFID integration for access control or area detection
Customizable for specific mission requirements or fleet standards

Energy Efficient Design

Power via internal rechargeable battery or external source

Ideal Applications
Naval or coast guard fleet tracking
EEZ surveillance and illegal fishing enforcement
Covert maritime operations or secure area monitoring
Vessel tracking where visibility to the public AIS network must be restricted
Real-time monitoring of ships and objects with VHF
The vmsTRACK-PRO-CS works with CSTDMA Class B transfer functions. CSTDMA is the abbreviation for Carrier Sense Time Division Multiple Access, which is used for Class B AIS units. The vmsTRACK-PRO-CS works according to the “listen before talk” principle.
“Geo-Fence” possible
Special areas can be programmed into the device (not to enter or not to leave). They are called “Geo-Fence-Areas”. The vmsTRACK-PRO-CS unit issues a visual alarm by flashing the LED when this geo-fence function is triggered and a special information message is immediately sent to the base station. Only the base station can interpret this message.
Intelligent tamper-proof solution
If the device is stolen or tampered with, the intelligent high-tech solution will flash the LED to alert the ship captain. A special message will also be sent to the base station. This special message is sent within the normal position report, but can only be decoded by the base station.
“Who and Where” for Coastal Security and Fleet Management
Iidentify "friend or foe" by sending a special name and unit ID.
Additional emergency distress button
The small vmsTRACK has an additional emergency distress button. In addition to the regular position report on special frequencies, it also provides alerts according to customer specifications and country approvals.
Customization of the vmsTRACK system
You can personalize it by programming the ship name, ship type, etc., and freely set the position transmission time. The longer the time interval, the longer the battery capacity.
Customizable for specific mission requirements or fleet standards
Different power supply solutions possible
There are 3 possibilities for the power supply of the vmsTRACK-PRO-CS
1. Charging station Stay independent thanks to your own batteries, which are charged with their own charging station ( A122 Tamperproof & Powersocket )
2. On-board network fixed solution through connection to 9-32VDC board power supply. This enables permanent intelligent charging (special modification of the charging station on request)
3. Solar panel Permanent external power supply with intelligent recharging. This will be a completely stand-alone solution for continuous operation
