Abstract: Unmanned aircraft systems with remote identification are mandated to broadcast and transmit through an internet connection to a Remote ID USS the remote identification message elements addressed in this supporting statement, on occasion (when the unmanned aircraft system with remote identification is operated in the airspace of the United States). This requires unmanned aircraft system: disclosure; and Remote ID USS: recordkeeping and reporting. The remote identification message elements would be sent from the UAS to the Remote ID USS over the internet. The Remote ID USS would, in turn, transmit the information collected to the FAA, as required. To implement remote identification, the FAA anticipates establishing a cooperative data exchange mechanism between the FAA and Remote ID USS. The information transmitted in the message elements would be used by the FAA and other Federal partners to provide airspace awareness of UAS operations in the airspace of the United States, which could be used to distinguish compliant airspace users from those potentially posing a safety or security risk. The same information would be broadcast from standard remote identification unmanned aircraft. The remote identification message elements that operators would be required to transmit under this rule would be considered publicly accessible information. To ensure safety in the airspace of the United States, the FAA may require access to the remote identification message elements transmitted by UAS with remote identification to Remote ID USS. This request may take the form of an individual query or a continuous connection to the Remote ID USS. In addition, the FAA anticipates providing that information, as necessary and when appropriate, to other airspace users, authorized Federal Government partners, and law enforcement entities. Upon request, a Remote ID USS would be required to provide the FAA: (1) the near real-time remote identification message elements that meet the minimum message element performance requirements; and (2) stored remote identification data. The remote identification message elements transmitted through an internet connection to a remote ID USS by a standard remote identification UAS or limited remote identification UAS, and broadcast by a standard remote identification UAS, may be available to the general public. Remote ID USS would be required to provide to the public, for no cost, the UAS Identification message element, either the unmanned aircraft’s serial number or the session ID assigned by the Remote ID USS. The FAA considers that there is no more inherent right to privacy in the physical location of either the unmanned aircraft or the control station than there would be in the location of manned aircraft.
