FAA-Led Committee Meets to Develop Standards for Remotely Identifying Drones

In an effort to remotely identify and track "rogue" drones, the Federal Aviation Administration established a diverse rulemaking committee to create standards, said a Wednesday news release. The FAA said there aren't currently any "requirements or voluntary standards for electrically broadcasting information to identify an unmanned aircraft while it’s in the air." The agency said the Aviation Rulemaking Committee, made up of representatives from 74 public and private organizations, is meeting this week to develop recommendations. Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International President Brian Wynne said in a statement that developing standards for remotely identifying drone operators and owners builds on earlier drone registration efforts.
