Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Jim Gavin:

Radar uses a different technology. It broadcasts a beam of energy to be reflected either off an aircraft surface or to a transponder, when then sends a code. Mr. Walsh mentioned that the regulation requires drone operators to have remote ID. As stated, there are apps that can be got for a smart device that will indicate the identity of the owner and operator of a drone.
