ASD-STAN is an Associated Body to CEN (European Committee for
Standardization) for Aerospace Standards. It is publishing an EU
standard "Aerospace series - Unmanned Aircraft Systems - Part 002:
Direct Remote Identification; English version prEN 4709-002:2020"
[ASDRI]. It will provide compliance to cover the identical DRI
requirements applicable to drones of classes C1 - [Delegated] Part 2,
C2 - [Delegated] Part 3, C3 - [Delegated] Part 4, C5 - [Amended] Part
16, and C6 - [Amended] Part 17.
[ASDRI] provides UA capability to be identified in real time during
the whole duration of the flight, without specific connectivity or
ground infrastructure link, utilizing existing mobile devices within
broadcast range. It uses Bluetooth 4, Bluetooth 5, Wi-Fi NAN and/or
Wi-Fi Beacon modes. The EU standard emphasis was compatibility with
[F3411-19], although there are differences in mandatory and optional
message types and fields.
The DRI system broadcasts locally:
1. the UAS operator registration number;
2. the [CTA2063A] compliant unique serial number of the UA;
3. a time stamp, the geographical position of the UA, and its height
AGL or above its take-off point;
4. the UA ground speed and route course measured clockwise from true
north;
5. the geographical position of the remote pilot, or if that is not
available, the geographical position of the UA take-off point;
and
6. for Classes C1, C2, C3, the UAS emergency status.
The data is sent in plain text and the UAS operator registration
number is represented as a 16-byte string including the state code.
The private id part contains 3 characters which are not broadcast but
used by authorities to access regional registration databases for
verification. The target is to revise the current standard with
additional functionality (e.g., DRIP) to be published before 2022.
Security oriented UAS RID essentially has two goals: enable the Security oriented UAS RID essentially has two goals: enable the
