The Dronetag DRI is an OEM Remote ID module for drone manufacturers and system integrators, powered by the flight controller and connected to it. It is a built-in module for mid-size multicopters and, according to the manufacturer, compatible with Pixhawk, PX4 and ArduPilot. At 1.5 g and 22.5 x 16 x 5 mm it barely registers in take-off weight.
The connection is UART with MAVLink 2, the connectors are two six-pin JST-GH sockets, and the antenna attaches through a U.FL connector. Average current is 3 mA, so the supply barely loads the on-board network. The module has no GNSS receiver of its own; position and altitude come from the flight controller, which therefore determines the quality of the identification.
The standards named are ASTM F3411 (for the USA F3411-19) and ASD-STAN EN 4709-002; the approvals are FAA, EASA, MLIT, CAA and CAAS. For the EU the module must transmit to EN 4709-002 and carry an EU declaration of conformity, and Part 6 of the Annex to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/945 governs add-on modules for direct remote identification. The duty applies to classes C1, C2, C3, C5 and C6 and, in the specific category, since 01.01.2024.
When choosing, check that the flight controller can hand over the operator registration number and position over MAVLink; that requires a free UART and suitable firmware. The U.FL connector tolerates only a few mating cycles and should not be unplugged repeatedly. Because the module is built in, the antenna position decides the range: it should not sit under carbon fibre or close to a video transmitter or control link.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
