VHF data exchange system

The VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) is a communication technology used in maritime settings to improve ship safety and coordination. Operating on Very High Frequency (VHF) radio waves, VDES allows vessels to exchange important information such as navigational data, weather updates, and safety alerts in real-time. This system enhances situational awareness for ships, helps manage maritime traffic, and supports search and rescue operations. By allowing ships to communicate more effectively, VDES aims to reduce accidents and improve the overall efficiency of maritime operations.
