Remote ID is a system for remotely identifying and locating Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). By making drone operations transparent, it increases accountability for the operator, leading to enhanced safety, security, and compliance. This system is a key component in enabling large-scale Beyond-Visual-Line-of-Sight (BVLOS) and automated drone operations.
However, Remote ID is not effective in detecting rogue or malicious UAS that do not comply with the rules. For well-intentioned operators, it serves as a means to demonstrate compliance, akin to a car’s license plate.
There are various technical sub-standards for Remote ID. Implementing and understanding Remote ID can thus be challenging due to the multitude of standards, each with its subtle differences. This diversity in standards requires careful attention to ensure compliance and effective implementation, making it a complex aspect of drone operation.
FLARM products for UAS generally support Remote ID based on Wi-Fi technology (NAN and Beacon frames). Our products are verified to comply with the respective standards in Europe (including France) and the USA. The following standards are supported:
