GM1 Article 8 Network identification service ED Decision 2022/022/R GENERAL (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](#_DxCrossRefBm1226739986)(4) of [Regulation (EU) 2021/664](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32021R0664&qid=1705662224579). 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](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32019R0945&qid=1705675869220). Whereas the remote identification established in [Regulation (EU) 2019/945](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32019R0945&qid=1705675869220) 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](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32019R0945&qid=1705675869220) lays down the requirements for the design and manufacture of unmanned aircraft systems whereas [Regulation (EU) 2021/664](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32021R0664&qid=1705662224579) 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.
