I like using the word drone because it’s the one the public associate with. We’re not, in the short term, catering for those who don’t carry, but that’s part of a sneaky plan, our Patent Application is around progressing towards putting a little red box on the top of each street light post, worldwide (financed by a telecoms spectrum-location type sell-off), which in the longer term would have so may advantages that we think that in the longer term, manufacturers would put the extra circuitry in as a matter of course, even for the smaller drones. When Remote Pilots stop thinking about Big Brother and instead start thinking about the advantages to them of using a system, they will jump in, boots and all. To draw a parallel, as far as drones go, we are in an age like when the first browsers were created, but before someone had the bright idea to create an image tag. And when the image tag was created, things went ballistic. The day will come when Remote ID fear will be a thing of the past - just like it is for telephone usage. The simple matter is that a phone number is a remote Id, GCHQ has every single one in it’s database, … and who cares!!! ADS-B add-ons will eventually be a penny solution where even FPV drone builders will add them as a matter of course because of the advantages they get, my idea is to create a technology that has the possibility of working and going to mass market, sometime before the patent runs out … so now we tinker, later we reap. Our plan now is to create grids of Electronically Conspicuous hubs, 183 meters apart and less, and equip each with Wi-fi P2P, Wifi Aware, and ADS-B receivers. Trying to get a grant, at the moment, to put a kilometer square grid at an agricultural show (such as the RWAS), and to put another at a university such as the Harper Adams University (agricultural, Shropshire). The golden dream is to put one at the top of every street light post in London, hence the patent. 7.5 million of them. That will be the hallmark of a new age. Do you do Kernel programming?
