A Low-Power Remote Identification Module for Drones.

Remote Identification (RID) technology provides a digital license plate for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to monitor airspace and enforce lawful behavior. RID enables the detection of drones from long distances and the differentiation between legal and illegal operations. This paper proposes a low-power Add-on RID (AoRID) module as part of a comprehensive airspace monitoring system comprised of three components: the AoRID module as the transmitter, a smartphone as the receiver, and an Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) database. The system offers advantages in its simplicity, effectiveness, and affordability.
