ANRA Technologies Receives FAA Contract for Broadcast Remote ID Project
DRONELIFE Staff Writer Ian M. Crosby
Airspace management solution provider ANRA Technologies Contract award to demonstrate ability to collect Broadcast Remote ID (B-RID) messages, transform and retransmit them as Network Remote ID (N-RID) messages that can be shared within Unmanned Air System (UAS) services announced. Supplier (USS) network.

Funded by the FAA, this project will evaluate UAS advanced air traffic management capabilities for safe operation in compliance with the FAA Remote Identification Final Rule, which requires remote identification of unmanned aerial vehicles in U.S. airspace. To do.
For widespread and scalable UAS traffic management (UTM) deployments, USS require the ability to monitor drones and other air traffic over long distances to manage operations and avoid collisions. This project presents a remote identification solution consisting of a B-RID transmitter and field-networked RID receivers to communicate broadcast messages within federated and integrated UTM networks.
Cooperation with UAS test site Nevada Autonomous State, ANRA has deployed B-RID-equipped drones and field ground-based N-RID receivers to demonstrate their ability to accumulate retransmitted B-RID data as N-RID data that can be shared on the USS network. Expand. These messages are processed by the network and become identifiable within the allied USS network.
Project goals include identifying how to combine B-RID messages with N-RID messages using cloud-based software applications and dedicated B-RID nodes deployed in localized areas. increase. It demonstrates new use cases for public safety, law enforcement, and manned aircraft entities made possible by her aggregated RID data that can be shared on the USS network. Experimenting on the use of B-RID messages by manned aircraft operators to increase situational awareness in National Airspace (NAS). As a basic function, it allows you to receive her B-RID directly with a smartphone application without the need for a network.
The results of this project will play an important role in enabling more advanced UTM features. The presence of B-RID information in the cloud has created additional use cases to support historical, real-time, and predictive usage by commercial UAS operators, USS, public safety, and law enforcement stakeholders will be
