And remote ID came into effect in 2024 in consumer drones.

And it required that every single drone that's purchased, you know, obviously the government drones could differ.

But any drones purchased at March, I believe, of 2024 has to transmit the position of where the person is standing.

the position of the drone, the speed, the altitude, and the serial number of the drone, which then could give you the name of the person that registered the drone in the first place.

This device can determine that with any drone that's flying around you.

So if you have some guy flying around your backyard with a drone, you could go show up at his house because you know exactly where he's standing and you can get his name if he registered it.

And then, as I said, for the spoofing side of things, that could get really dangerous.

Exactly.

So on their UIS, on their screen, where it would look like their counter UIS system, where it would look kind of like a radar with dots, just imagine it being overwhelmed with dots.

And then they don't know if it's real or not real.

They get geared up as if it is real.

And then drones come in from a different angle that are not detectable at all.

So it's very dangerous.

And I don't know what the solution to the problem is because there's companies like Andro out there that are flying drones in with fiber optic and optic cables that don't even need radio.

They have local AI on them.

that is making decisions on what parts of tanks to hit to weaken them and has already been hit by this one.

The drones work together.

So I don't know exactly what the solution to this problem is, but I do believe that knowing that it exists and researching some of this technology, especially for our country, is important because drones, it's not like these are a new thing.

They were called quadcopters when I was a kid and they were a hobbyist or a fun thing to do.

And then as time went on, people started to weaponize them, and now they're part of war.
