OneSky announced its part of a collaborative effort implementing the world’s first nationwide voluntary Network Remote Identification (NET-RID) program in Switzerland.
Swiss U-Space (SUSI) is a public-private partnership between the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA), the Swiss ANSP Skyguide and commercial stakeholders in drones and unmanned traffic management. The NET-RID project demonstrates a remote ID system that balances the needs of law enforcement and federal agencies for security with the needs of the aviation community for safety. The SUSI cooperative system of NET-RID provides insight into air traffic across an entire country – insight that can help aviators adjust flight plans as necessary to improve safety and optimize operations.
Based in Exton, Pennsylvania OneSky is an unmanned aircraft system traffic management ( UTM ) company developing airspace assessment, operations and management solutions for the aviation industry. The company develops web and mobile displays for the public and government to have better situational awareness of the unmanned air picture.
Remote ID (RID) technology is intended to remove the anonymity of the operator, much like a car’s license plate identifies the driver. This is done with electronic systems for aircraft because license plates and tail numbers aren’t visible from the ground and can add to a drone’s load capacity. RID solves the anonymity issue by attaching an electronic tag to a drone operation. This electronic tag is anonymous to the public but linked to a drone registration database where personal information is stored about the drone owner or operator. The Swiss FOCA has developed a drone operator registry, through which drone operators can share their information and get a unique identification number.
Remote ID can be accomplished by two different recognized methods. The first method is using a networked computer system that receives telemetry from a drone via a ground control station (GCS) or potentially attached hardware capable of sending updates through cellular networks (Network-RID, or NET-RID). The second method uses a broadcast device to push telemetry and the drone tag over a direct RF link to a smartphone (Broadcast-RID). In the SUSI NET-RID program, identification information is shared through the interoperable, open-source InterUSS Platform: allowing U-Space Service Providers (USSP) to exchange information as needed.
