FAA Seeks Input For Remote ID Rule To Enhance Airspace Safety
/The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration is proposing a rule that would require Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), commonly called drones, to be identifiable remotely by other parties.
“The FAA [is requiring] every single drone to have a Remote Identification (Remote ID) system and we’ve got one of those here already developed,” said WhiteFox Strategic Advisor Brett Velicovich at CES 2020. “This is not futuristic technology; it exists today, and this is called our WISDM system. It can be attached to a drone and will send that registration information for the drone owner to officials.”
The FAA’s website states: “Remote ID would assist the FAA, law enforcement and Federal security agencies when a drone appears to be flying in an unsafe manner or where the drone is not allowed to fly.”
