This is very similar to FLARM devices (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLARM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLARM) for ultralights, gliders, etc. This is already broadly deployed (at least in Europe).
You could check for any lessons learned there. I think you can discount any flight users, because they would like to be seen too by other airplanes.
- efesak 7y agoFLARM is very bad example especialy for DIY community. They have proprietary chips, firmware and are running non opensourced protocol. Also they are actively trying to prevent reverse engineering with cryptography and killing old/diy devices with protocol timebombs...
- fh973 7y agoYes, I am also not enthusiastic about the crypto part, but then if it prevents people from spoofing signals, it is probably a good decision. The wikipedia suggests they use standard hardware components?
