Overview
The RadarPlus® SA161-MH is a globally-deployed, industry-proven AIS receiver for aircraft.
Over 250,000 ships worldwide transmit position and identity information via the Automatic Identification System (AIS). Increased AIS tracking range and concentration is achieved by Shine Micro AIS receivers for aircraft. Industry-leading sensitivity is attained through Shine Micro exclusive I/Q Synchronous demodulator technology, facilitating superior reception of noisy, weak signals.
Enclosed in a fully-shielded and NVIS-compatible aluminum case, the SA161-MH is rugged, light weight, corrosion resistant, and capable of high altitude operation over a wide temperature range. Mounting options include a Type 1 Aircraft Dzus Rail or a bottom flange mount.
The SA161-MH features dual outputs via Ethernet and RS-232. Both may be utilized to receive data from the device simultaneously. The Ethernet module is configurable as TCP server, TCP client, UDP point-to-point, or UDP broadcast.
Highlights
• High Sensitivity
• MIL-Spec Construction
• Low Power Consumption
• Integrated 12-Channel GPS
• Superior RF Input Protection
• High Altitude Operation
• Wide Operating Temperature Range
• Exclusive Shine Micro Enhanced Signal Processing Software (ESP)
The Shine Micro companion product ST162-T1 AIS Test Set is recommended for optimization
of AIS equipment and installations prior to deployment.
The SA161-MH and ST162-T1 are COTS equipment and standard options on Lockheed Martin/Sikorsky MH-60 Helicopters, Lockheed Martin P3 and Boeing P8 aircraft, Insitu
Integrator™ UAS, and many others.

Serial Interface Details
The serial interface of the SA161-MH conforms to ITU-R M. 1371- 4 and NMEA 0183 data protocol with additional proprietary sentences. Received AIS messages are reported using the NMEA 0183 VDM sentence. GPS position data is reported using the GGA, ZDA and VTG NMEA 0183 sentences. Data is simultaneously output via RS232 and Ethernet. The Ethernet module is configurable as TCP server, TCP client, UDP point to point, or UDP Broadcast at 10/100 Mbps.
