"Hatten UAS" New EU regulation on the remote identification of drones
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has introduced a new regulation that makes the remote identification of drones mandatory in Europe. This regulation comes into force on 01.01.2024 and affects all drone operators. This will increase safety in European airspace in general and for drones in particular.
What is remote identification of drones?
The remote identification of drones is intended to ensure that authorities and citizens are able to identify drones from a distance. Drones are to be made identifiable both from the air and from the ground using a smartphone app. The serial number, registration number, the position of the remote pilot or the starting point and location of the drone can serve as identification. The use of appropriate technology for remote identification will be mandatory from 2024. With our test airfield for drones, we offer optimal conditions for testing and further developing innovations such as remote identification. Please get in touch with us, b.r.m. IT & Aerospace GmbH, to find out more about Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) or our Hatten-UAS German Flight Center "Flugplatz Oldenburg Hatten "EDWH"".
What does this mean for drone operators?
The new EU regulation on remote identification affects all drone operators. The legislator does not differentiate between the size or area of use of the drones. All drone operators must therefore ensure remote identification. Class C1, C2, C3, C5 and C6 drones already have suitable remote identification systems installed. Providers who do not yet use such remote identification systems must retrofit them and operate them in future. Modules that enable drones to comply with the new EU regulation are already available in various versions. As a U-Space Service Provider (USSP), we are happy to support you in this process.
More safety in European airspace
The new EU regulation represents a milestone that will significantly improve safety in the airspace. In addition, information on drones should also be made transparent for the general public. With the help of the special app for your own cell phone, important information about drones is shared publicly. However, information about the UAS operator is only shared with official authorities. Please contact our Mr. Markus Rossol at markus.rossol@brm.de or 0421-341494 for further information on Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) or our U-Space Reallabor Norddeutschland. You can also find more information on the remote identification of drones on the EASA website.
