Skydio aircraft have finally made it to the FAA website tracking drone manufacturer compliance with the new Remote ID rule. The FAA, on January 17, 2023, approved the Declarations of Compliance for Skydio 2+ and X2E drone models.
Remote ID is a feature that allows a drone in flight to provide its identification and location information to other parties. The FAA likens it to a “digital license plate” for a drone. Most drones operating in the US airspace are required by law to have this capability. So, which DJI drones currently have Remote ID?
DJI has released a fresh firmware package for the newly launched Mavic 3 Enterprise and Mavic 3 Thermal drones. With this update, the Mavic 3E and 3T drones gain support for Remote ID requirements in the United States.
Drone maker Yuneec has struck a deal with Czech startup Dronetag to have Remote ID broadcast capabilities built into its new commercial hexacopter, the H850 RTK. This new partnership will also see Dronetag add-on devices for remote identification of drones being sold on the Yuneec online store.
There’s a new app on the market, and it’s one that transforms any phone or tablet into a drone tracking device.
