  advanced command, control and communications
  system. Created to improve the ability to assist
  mariners in distress and save lives and property
  at sea. Rescue 21 allows protected communications
  for law enforcement and homeland security
  operations, as well as improving the ability to
  review and decipher garbled transmissions.

  December 2008. Phase I will Transmit and Receive
  Nationwide and will provide shore-based receive
  coverage out to 50 nautical miles and transmit
  capability out to 24 nautical miles.

Characteristics NAIS is a two-way, maritime
data communication system that provides vessel
and navigational data, including vessel location,
course, speed, and cargo information. NAIS data
coupled with other government intelligence and
surveillance information forms a holistic,
overarching view of maritime traffic within or
near the U.S. and its territorial waters.

• CharacteristicsC21 will transform SCCs into
  Interagency Operations Centers (IOCs).
  Ultimately, C21 will enhance awareness,
  information sharing, and joint operations in the
  maritime domain to help decision makers determine
  threats and prioritize response actions with
  other Federal, State Local Government entities,
  First Responder organizations, and Port Partners.
