Position reports are required 0600 and 1800 daily; The Military Sealift Command has implemented a fully automated satellite tracking system (ASTARS)for the purpose of providing In-Transit Visibility (ITV) of its vessels. To support this system MSC utilizes position data provided by a ship's INMARSAT-C Terminal (the terminal must have a GPS input). This is a critical requirement and is therefore mandatory. In order to initiate reporting and start receiving the required data from a ship, MSC needs to know the make and model of the INMARSAT C terminal, its registered identification number, and the specific satellite (POR, AORE, AORW, or IOR) it is currently logged on to. Once this information is received MSC technicians will remotely communicate with the terminal to activate reporting. When no longer required MSC technicians will stop the terminal from reporting. MSC technicians may require some assistance from ship's personnel should problems occur. The ship's terminal will accrue a nominal cost associated with the sending of small data packets.
