[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 108791, member: 18605"] Thanks for posting that link, RotorWash. I've been monitoring the internet to see how various stakeholders are responding to the NPRM. Back in November, DJI demonstrated their drone-to-phone RID system at the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organization's third annual Drone Enable Conference. DJI Director of Technical Standards Javier Caina stated, "Our direct drone-to-phone solution is an easy and elegant solution for drone pilots. They will be able to comply with Remote ID expectations simply by updating the software on many drones already in widespread use, without any extra cost or equipment. In contrast, remote ID solutions that require pilots to add telecommunications equipment, subscribe to an ID service provider, connect to a cell tower or buy a data plan for their drone will create new costs and barriers for beneficial drone operations. DJI's direct drone-to-phone solution uses the latest technological advances to make remote ID compliance as easy and inexpensive as possible." DJI's system was built to conform to the ASTM international standard using Wi-Fi Aware protocol for mobile phones. You can see why the half dozen or so companies hoping to cash-in on USS contracts would not be in favor. However, I think the two methods could coexist if the FAA applied the USS requirement to some commercial drones (i.e., delivery drones), rather than their current one-size-fits-all approach. One aspect of concern to me with the drone-to-phone method currently proposed is showing the operator's position. In the age of road rage, the last thing we need is some paranoiac with unfounded suspicions thinking they are being surveilled or thieves looking to steal an expensive drone for some nefarious purpose. The authorities should be the only ones with access to that information. If contacted, they can address any concerns without putting the safety of the drone operator in jeopardy. [/QUOTE]
