(SYRACUSE, NY.) <\/strong>NUAIR<\/a> (Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research) in collaboration with ANRA Technologies<\/a> conducted an operational assessment of ANRA\u2019s UTM technology for broadcast and network based remote identification (RID) of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) at the New York UASTest Site located at Griffiss International Airport in Rome, NY.\u00a0 On May 28-29, staff from NUAIR assessed ANRA\u2019s first-of-its kind technology using draft industry standards for evaluating both broadcast and network based remote identification capabilities. Several drones were flown by NUAIR staff, with two carrying an unique Wi-Fi broadcast module provided by ANRA and Doodle Labs<\/a>,to test RID broadcast capability. Overall, the event was deemed successful for being the first operational assessment of both broadcast and network capability.<\/p>\n

Part of the assessment included multiple UAS Service Suppliers (USS)at the test site using ANRA\u2019s UAS traffic management (UTM) software to manage drone operations while also serving as the network RID service and display provider. The display applications ingested broadcast RID data and\/or interacted with a network RID display provider to present information to the end users.<\/p>\n

The broadcasting drones transmitted RID advertisements continuously and a Display App on a smartphone used the smartphone\u2019s technology to listen for the drone advertisements, extracted the RID data, and then displayed the live drone location on a map along with its historical path.<\/p>\n

Additionally, network publishing was evaluated using ANRA\u2019s software platform<\/a> to visualize data within an internet-based service area. In this case, the Display App made a request to ANRA network RID display provider which had aggregated RID data for all flights in the area managed by network RID service providers and provided the aggregated data back to the Display App.<\/p>\n

Remote ID is the ability of a UAS in flight to provide identification information that can be received by other parties. \u00a0Remote ID will help facilitate more advanced operations for drones and help lay the groundwork for future UAS Traffic Management (UTM). Remote ID will assist the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), law enforcement, and Federal security agencies when a UAS appears to be flying in an unsafe manner or where the drone is not allowed to fly. Broadcast remote ID was received and viewed on ANRA displays by Oneida County Sherriff personnel who participated in the assessment using a mobile app and password protection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis test of ANRA\u2019s remote identification technology is further evidence of how innovation and collaboration continue to blossom at Oneida County\u2019s UAS Test Site at Griffiss International Airport,\u201d said Oneida County Executive Anthony J. Picente Jr. \u201cThis new tool will prove vital in the traffic management and public safety of unmanned aircraft systems and continue to push the industry forward.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To further the industry, ANRA and its partner Doodle Labs also announced their decision to open source the broadcast based Remote ID firmware implementation which can be used for any Linux compatible Wi-Fi hardware module.<\/p>\n

Another aspect of the assessment included testing a public facing mobile app that provides information about participating drones, such as if the drone was being flown by an approved FAA operator.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to test our technology to advance commercial drone operations.\u00a0 ANRA is committed to safe and efficient drone operations and we know that starts with gaining public trust.\u201d said Amit Ganjoo, CEO ANRA Technologies. The app is just one feature of many features of ANRA\u2019s remote ID technology that was assessed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Oneida County Sheriff\u2019s Office whole heartedly supports the mission statement of NUAIR and ANRA Technologies pertaining to the broadcast of Remote ID.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny opportunity to effectively engage in the community that places emphasis on the ability to educate and creates a safe environment, all participants benefit,\u201d stated Chief Deputy Jonathan Owens.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Remote ID is the next step to enable safe, routine drone operations across the nation.NY UAS Test Site provides world-class facilities to test and evaluate technologies such as ANRA\u2019s.\u00a0 \u201cCompanies like ANRA are partnering with NUAIR and the NY UAS Test Site to conduct safe and rigorous testing of the latest UTM technology for compliance with current and emerging standards. We are excited to provide resources and test expertise to businesses pushing the envelope of what\u2019s possible with unmanned systems,\u201d stated NUAIR Chief Technology Officer Andy Thurling.<\/p>\n

More about ANRA Technologies.\u00a0 <\/strong>ANRA Technologies, headquartered in Washington DC, is a provider of end-to-end solutions for UAS operators and airspace managers. ANRA has developed two software platforms for commercial UAS operations.\u00a0 One platform is for UAS traffic management (DroneUSS\u2122) and the other is for orchestrating workflow (DroneOSS\u2122). The platforms include features such as flight planning and monitoring, UAS command and control, negotiated aircraft separation, airspace management, UAS tracking, compliance parameters, aircraft reporting, stakeholder and user portals, and open interfaces to enable emerging capabilities like Remote ID. The platform is designed to integrate both cooperative and non-cooperative UAS into the UTM system and to negotiate strategic de-confliction, leveraging a variety of airborne and ground based sensor data sources.\u00a0 Both platforms have been rigorously tested and vetted by the world\u2019s foremost government aviation entities and are operational today at multiple test sites, commercial enterprises and UAS Corridors.<\/p>\n
