Objective Of Remote ID Is To Ensure That A UAS In Flight Is Providing Identification And Location Information
AUVSI has weighed in on recent proposals by the FAA to provide regs for remote ID and other drone programs.
Just before year's end, FAA delivered a Final Rule on Remote Identification for UAS. Thought of as a digital license plate for drones, the objective of Remote ID is to ensure that a UAS in flight is providing identification and location information that authorities can access. The FAA also released the final rule for Operations Over People, which includes rules for operations at night.
“AUVSI welcomes the progress made with the delivery of these final rules,” said AUVSI President and CEO Brian Wynne. “Remote ID will enable more complex UAS operations, which will have additional untold benefits for American society. Operations over people, and at night, are important steps towards enabling integration of drones into our national airspace. We look forward to reviewing these rules and working with the FAA on implementation.”
The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) and its members have been consistently calling for federal regulations regarding advanced UAS operations, especially Remote ID. The rules released today are critical steps towards future UAS rulemakings to enable more complex operations, including Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) for drone delivery, public safety operations, and infrastructure inspection. Remote ID is also instrumental to the development of a UAS Traffic Management (UTM) system that works alongside existing air traffic control system for manned aircraft.
