The US Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) has selected Pierce Aerospace’s B1 Remote ID Beacon for the Blue UAS Framework. The B1 will begin the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and cybersecurity verification process required to join the Blue UAS Framework Authority to Operate (ATO).
The Blue UAS Framework is a list of Interoperable, NDAA-compliant uncrewed aerial system (UAS) components and software. Pierce’s B1 is currently the only Remote ID beacon selected for the framework.
The B1 Remote ID Beacon has contributed to recovering UAS airframes and sensors after mishaps. It is used by public safety and professional operators, including the film industry. The B1 has been designed to handle high speeds and with most drones with anti-collision sensors.
Company CEO Aaron Pierce said Blue UAS flown by the US Department of Defense don’t always come equipped with Remote ID, which makes training and coordinated flight operations challenging in natural disaster responses. “As part of the Blue UAS Framework, the B1 can more easily be acquired to help keep track of drones in training missions and ease coordination in complex airspace for disaster response missions.”
DIU selected 23 platforms and 14 unique components for NDAA verification out of 369 proposals from companies in the United States and 18 other countries that applied to participate in the refresh challenge.
