What If … DJI Replaces Their DroneID with RemoteID? Supporting RemoteID offers DJI a simple off ramp from the thorny issue of AeroScopes being used in combat zones or for unintended use cases.
RemoteID is scheduled to start rolling out in September of this year in the U.S. In very simple terms, RemoteID require almost all drones to broadcast their location in real time and, with appropriate access, provide additional metadata about the drone and its operator.
In the non-DOD environment we use the term “CUAS” without any modifiers to talk about everything from airspace awareness to UAVs in Ukraine. This leads to inefficiencies and confusion when trying to discuss capabilities, pricing, use cases, and threat models.
