GM1 Article 8 Network
identification service
ED Decision 2022/022/R
(a) The network identification service provides the registration number of a UAS operator, the serial number of an unmanned aircraft, and live flight data of the UAS. It enables the sharing of information with any of the authorised users listed in Article 8(4) of Regulation (EU) 2021/664. Authorised users will be made aware of the geographical position, route course and emergency status, flight level, and type of the UAS, among other data elements. Based on the information provided by the UAS operators, USSPs share and consolidate UAS flight data among themselves and can, therefore, support traffic information when needed.
(b) The network identification service complements the original intent of the direct and network remote identification systems referred to in Regulation (EU) 2019/945. Whereas the remote identification established in Regulation (EU) 2019/945 supports the authorities in aspects related to security and privacy, the network identification service also supports operational needs and the traceability of unmanned aircraft during flight. The responsibility for the provision of the remote identification service lies with different entities. Regulation (EU) 2019/945 lays down the requirements for the design and manufacture of unmanned aircraft systems whereas Regulation (EU) 2021/664 defines the services provided by USSPs.
(c) Detailed and accurate information about the latency necessary for the proper functioning of the traffic information service may be assessed and defined during the U-space airspace risk assessment.
U-space network identification shares drone operator registration, aircraft serial number, and live flight data, including location and status, with authorized users. This service enhances drone traceability and supports operational needs beyond security and privacy, complementing remote identification. U-space service providers consolidate flight data, aiding traffic information services.
