The Saab R5 Supreme AIS is a Class A automatic identification system transponder designed for high‑performance target tracking and seamless integration with advanced bridge consoles. As an AIS, it is normally installed on the bridge, radio station or survival-craft equipment position appropriate to the listed type. In that role, its primary purpose is to provide distress, safety, operational communication or search-and-rescue locating capability. VHF, MF/HF, satellite terminals, EPIRBs and SARTs use different communication paths and emergency roles, so testing must follow the specific approved procedure. Capacity: Class A / 12.5 W. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
