French Government Proposed A New Drone Law – DEEP AERO DRONES – Medium

The French Government has designed a new law making it compulsory for the drones to be fitted with signalling lights. The proposal would mandate the installation of beacons on all unmanned aircraft. The proposed beacon would run on unlicensed spectrum allocation and the signalling message takes place in the payload part of Wi-fi frame including- the code for drone's manufacturer, drone's serial number, its latitude, longitude and altitude, its speed and timestamp. The light to be used must not contain the colours used for manned aviation, i.e. red, white, or green. The proposal especially signifies that a single beacon will be acceptable for a swarm of drones.
