ADS-B, while good, isn’t perfect. It’s refresh rate goes down the more aircraft there are in an area to avoid signal conflict, it’s one way broadcast so there isn’t a way to request a different view of data, and it’s more like an untrusted client (self reporting) with no civilian ability to support cryptographic identity (no way to prove the signal is real, authentic, or correct). Remote ID probably doesn’t solve all of these issues, but it may try to solve some around identification. I’m not familiar enough with the specification yet or how it’ll be implemented. I work on Uber Elevate, which has been an industry partner for testing Remote ID. https://medium.com/wing-aviation/wing-partners-with-industry-and-regulators-to-validate-the-remote-identification-of-drones-based-252e98e1c7a4 https://medium.com/wing-aviation/wing-partners-with-industry...

What do you mean by "a different view of data"?

  With ADS-B the broadcast packet contains whatever it contains (a consumer cannot request different “endpoints”). By different view I was thinking of how an internet based solution could have endpoints with many options and pull too instead of only push.

> it’s one way broadcast so there isn’t a way to request a different view of data I think what you mean is there isn't a way for _you_ to request data. I'm sure you are operating a SDR on 1090 MHz as an ADS-B receiver, but that is only half the equation. Aircraft transponders also listen on 1030 MHz for interrogations and will respond appropriately. Secondary surveillance radar does exactly this in the United States around towered airports. ADS-B is just a dumbed down version of the Identify Friend or Foe system deployed by the military. > I work on Uber Elevate, which has been an industry partner for testing Remote ID Fantastic! If you'd like to grab coffee and learn more about how this stuff works (and how it should work in the future), my email is in my profile.
