【 摘 要 】

Digital selective calling (DSC) has a certain drawbacks, which have led to the fact that it is practically not used in address radio communications. Attempts to improve it only within the DSC system itself did not lead to any noticeable results due to neglecting of real user needs. The article proposes an approach to improve the user interface of DSC based on the integration of VHF MF/HF DSC equipment with the INS within the three main outputs of strategic direction of e-navigation development related to the integration of communication and navigation systems and, in particular, the S-mode. This approach allows us to significantly simplify the DSC user interface, based on the standardization of DSC integration for all three VHF MF/HF communication sub bands. For implementation such standardization an additional inclusion into the integration a satellite AIS system should be done. The feasibility of the proposal is supported by the existence of relevant IEC standards and IMO documents. The possibility of increasing the cyber security level of AIS messages in this interface is also considered.
