Vessel Profile Transmitter

The Vessel Profile Transmitter is a transponder that provides telemetry to LRS and TCAS. Its operating modes determine which identification, position and altitude information other vessels can receive.

Mode A

Continually provides relative position information to all interrogating vessels.

In addition, it can selectively provide:

  • IVR
  • Hull registry
  • Vehicle type
  • Registered owner
  • Stolen, repossession, tow, and other flags recorded by various agencies

Mode C

Continually provides Mode A data plus altitude information to all interrogating vessels.

Mode S

When a vehicle is embedded in another vehicle (such as ARJs or small cars or trucks in a larger vehicles' bay) the Mode A and C continuous stream is inhibited. Upon request, the parent vehicle will provide a list of all nested objects as well as their Mode A and C data streams.
