Compact remote identification device for uncrewed aircraft compliance

idME+ (Remote ID) is a remote identification device from Aerobits designed to support drone identification and localization requirements in accordance with ASTM and ASD-STAN Remote ID standards. The module integrates a high-quality multi-GNSS receiver and a barometric pressure sensor, enabling independent position and altitude determination without relying on autopilot-generated navigation data. Because the unit requires only a power connection for operation, it can be integrated into a wide range of unmanned aircraft platforms while simplifying installation and reducing system dependencies. The device is engineered for compliance-focused UAS operations and supports Remote ID implementations aligned with current regulatory frameworks.

Using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) broadcast technology, idME+ enables identification and awareness capabilities that can be accessed through modern mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets. The unit can be connected to Pixhawk flight controllers through a JST interface and features a compact footprint with low power consumption, making it suitable for lightweight and size-constrained drone platforms. Configuration is supported through AT commands, allowing operators to customize broadcast parameters such as aircraft type and identification information, while optional authentication mechanisms provide additional flexibility. The product holds FCC and EASA certifications, complies with the latest FAA Means of Compliance requirements, and is aligned with ASTM F3211-19 specifications.
