Remote ID

Remote ID is a regulation of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that requires registered drones—unmanned aircraft systems or UAS—to broadcast certain identifying and location information during flight, akin to a digital license plate for drones. Remote ID regulations are codified in Part 89 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

Two types of Remote ID are available: standard remote identification, and remote identification modules. FAA-Recognized Identification Areas (FRIAs) are defined geographic areas such as model airfields where unregistered drones can be flown without Remote ID equipment. Outside of FRIAs, all drones must have Remote ID, regardless of whether the drone is registered or the operator is licensed.

Remote ID information is meant to be broadcast to the public and readable by smart phones and similar devices. ASTM Open Drone ID is a commonly implemented standard that defines broadcasts over Wi-Fi for longer ranges and Bluetooth for shorter ranges.
