What is a Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system?
A Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system allows a drone to broadcast essential flight and identification information digitally via Bluetooth (2.4 GHz) to nearby receivers, such as smartphones or dedicated devices.
The information transmitted typically includes the drone’s serial number, take-off location, current latitude and longitude, altitude, speed, and direction of travel.
By improving airspace awareness and traceability, DRI contributes to safer drone operations and more effective flight mission management. It also provides a valuable means of locating a drone in the event of a lost link between the aircraft and the operator.
Why equip your drone with a Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system?
A Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system is intended for drones that are not equipped with remote identification by default, as well as for drone manufacturers wishing to integrate this functionality directly into their aircraft.
By equipping a drone with a DRI system, operators can ensure compliance with the latest EASA regulations, allowing their drones to operate legally within the European regulatory framework. In addition to regulatory compliance, DRI improves traceability and airspace safety, contributing to more secure and responsible drone operations.
How can I connect to the Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system interface?
You can connect to the Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system interface directly from a smartphone or tablet using a Bluetooth connection.
Once Bluetooth is enabled on your device, simply connect to the DRI system via the dedicated interface or compatible application, which allows you to view, configure, and verify the broadcast identification information. No additional equipment is required.
This quick and intuitive access ensures that operators can easily check system status and compliance before and during operations.
How do I link my Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system to my operator number?
Log in to the Fly ID web interface of your Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system.
Go to “Settings”, then enter the aircraft type and your operator number.
Once this information is saved, your DRI system is correctly linked to your operator number and ready for compliant operation.
What regulations do Dronavia's Direct Remote Identification (DRI) systems comply with ?
Dronavia’s Fly ID Direct Remote Identification (DRI) systems comply with the EN 4709-002 standard, which defines the requirements for direct remote identification of drones weighing more than 250 grams and operating below 120 meters in the specific category, in accordance with European regulations.
In addition, the Beacon AM remote identification device enables drones to comply with the French DGAC decree of December 27, 2019, which mandates electronic identification for certain professional drone operations in France.
These compliant solutions ensure that operators meet both European and national regulatory requirements, while improving traceability, airspace safety, and operational control.
For which drones should a Direct Remote Identification systems be used?
A Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system is mandatory for all drones weighing more than 250 grams that are not equipped with remote identification as a standard feature.
This requirement ensures compliance with current European regulations and allows affected drones to operate legally within the applicable regulatory framework.
Why do Direct Remote Identification (DRI) systems have a web interface?
Fly ID Direct Remote Identification (DRI) systems include a web-based interface accessible via WiFi to allow operators to configure and manage the system easily.
This interface is used to enter and update the operator number, configure aircraft information, and perform system updates when required. It ensures that the DRI system remains correctly configured, up to date, and fully compliant with applicable regulations.
Are Fly ID direct remote identification (DRI) systems visible on drone tracking applications?
Yes. All Fly ID Direct Remote Identification (DRI) systems are compatible with drone tracking applications, such as DroneScanner and OpenDroneID.
Simply open a compatible application and power on your Fly ID system. The drone will then appear automatically in the app, allowing you to view all broadcast flight information. These applications also help operators monitor nearby airspace activity and better organize their flight operations by providing real-time visibility of surrounding drone traffic.
