Notice Title

CAA - Remote ID Integration Provider & Service Provider(s)

Notice Description

Remote ID (RID) Integration Provider: As part of the UK's overall RID technical architecture, the CAA are intending to contract for the development, implementation and maintenance of the RID Integration Provider, which is a new system for the CAA. The Remote ID Integration Provider (often known as the InterUSS Layer or component) will serve as a critical communication backbone for the overall RID service, enabling the efficient gathering and exchange of data between multiple network RID service providers (Section B of this RFI) and the Master Data Hub. This essential element promotes seamless interoperability and collaboration within the drone ecosystem, ensuring that relevant information is securely transmitted and shared across various system components, enhancing overall connectivity and coordination. It will enable the efficient and secure exchange of information between components, allowing stakeholders to interact with the hybrid RID system. The RID Integration Provider will develop, implement and maintain the Integration Layer for all the RID service providers, ensuring the RID Service Providers can communicate with one other and that all RID data is coordinated centrally and then shared with the Master Data Hub. Drones in flight will emit RID data (time stamp, ID, location etc). This data will be emitted for every second that required Open Category and all Specific Category drones are in operation, and will be picked up by the RID Service Providers. The RID Integration Provider will establish the coordination Layer between the Service Providers, and the Master Data Hub which will store all RID data in real time and create historical records. The RID Integration Provider would be expected to build, operate and maintain a service Remote ID Service Provider(s): RID Service Providers enable the real-time identification and tracking of drones by ensuring that registered drones can be easily identified and that their operators are in compliance with the established regulations. The chosen decentralised architecture features multiple instances of network RID service APIs, representing various network RID service providers, which in turn bolsters scalability, reliability and service accessibility. RID Service Providers would be expected to build, operate and maintain a service which: * Supports the input and management of UAS identification information, including aircraft registration * Implements RID Integration Provider APIs for seamless integration and data exchange with other Remote ID Service Providers * Ensures data encryption during transmission to and from the RID Integration Provider * Is scalable to handle increasing numbers of UAS and RID Service Providers The project is currently in the design phase and will require consultation etc, before approval would be gained to proceed. If you would like to potentially be involved, please contact scott.taggart@caa.co.uk for a copy of the RFI.
