R6 Secure AIS – Encrypted AIS for Navy, Coast Guard & Law‑Enforcement Fleets
The TransponderTech R6 Secure AIS is a next‑generation shipborne secure AIS system designed for naval, coast guard and law‑enforcement operations requiring encrypted AIS communications outside the public AIS network. Building on the long operational legacy of R4 and R5 Secure AIS, R6 Secure introduces a modern, network‑centric architecture that supports both secure and open AIS from the same platform, allowing units to maintain awareness of public AIS traffic while exchanging non‑public information with authorised friendly forces.
R6 Secure AIS systems are offered in several mission‑tailored variants, including LAIS, Secure AIS and W‑AIS (warship AIS), enabling defence and security organisations to adopt the level of secure functionality appropriate for their operations. For qualified users, R6 Secure can be deployed across vessels, aircraft, base stations and control centres as part of a coherent secure AIS solution.
