P3 AEGIS GPS System to Track U.K. Fishing Vessels

AeGIS is a screen based proven tracking system, with a wide variety of applications including vehicle and plant tracking, DGPS survey and vessel traffic management. It relies on the rugged P3 modem technology as well as third party GPS receivers. The system can be readily adapted to use third party radios, instead of P3 data radio modems, and provides the user with the ability to control the system operating parameters, including navigation and waypoint setup, definition of guard zones, and survey setup such as co-ordinates and datum definition.

Newport Pagnell - Sep 17, 2002
Precise Positioning Products Inc. has signed a memorandum of understanding with Applied Satellite Technology Limited with the specific objective of providing The United Kingdom Fishery Departments with a Vessel Monitoring System to track UK fishing vessels, wherever they fish, and foreign vessels when fishing in UK waters.

Currently, some 1,500 fishing vessels need to be monitored. This number could increase significantly in the future.

Under the rules of the European Union, the United Kingdom is required to re-let its contact for this Fishing Vessel Monitoring System. P3, which has developed its AEGIS tracking system to provide a high level of management information, is to offer AEGIS for use by the UK's Fishery Departments, combined with state of the art Satellite Communication systems. The information obtained from all fishing vessels will be made available to other member states of the European Community, as well as providing up to date information for the control of fishing activities.

It is considered that the UK's new Fishing Vessel Monitoring System will the largest vessel monitoring system in the world.

P3's AEGIS tracking system is ideally suited to the monitoring of both fishing vessels, and the areas where fishing vessels operate. AEGIS incorporates a comprehensive data base which has been developed to provide extensive information on all fishing vessels being monitored, as well as comprehensive intelligence on the state of all fishing areas monitored.
