COM DEV International Ltd. [TSX:CDV] has successfully completed the airborne validation trials of its advanced Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver solution. The trials have validated key aspects of system performance and demonstrated that COM DEV‘s receiver solution is capable of extracting a significantly greater number of AIS signals compared to a standard receiver approach. The results suggest that such a system, employed in space, will provide a persistent and predictable level of performance.
COM DEV is also completing the development of a nanosatellite being built by the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies/Space Flight Lab. The spacecraft will be ready for launch in the spring of 2008 as planned and will be deployed in the first, space-based validation trial of an advanced AIS capability designed to deal with large numbers of overlapping AIS
signals. In parallel, COM DEV’s strategic AIS partner, Gatehouse, is developing software that will enable data collected from space to be displayed and managed as part of an integrated maritime domain awareness picture by adding the dimension of extended long-range monitoring capability—Cambridge, Ontario
