Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide improved systems (200, 400) and methods (500, 600, 700, 800) of identifying and managing unmanned (230) and manned (120a-b) air traffic. The systems and methods of the present disclosure allow for the establishment of communications that both protects and shares identity and other informational data. The exemplary system is a dynamic secure identification network system enabling users of the system, including aircraft and aircraft operators 250, to engage with all users of the system and share identification information through a permission-based network system, for example, a blockchain based system. The system enables varying levels of identity and other information to be communicated about each aircraft system located within the ecosystem and being queried by a user. Aircraft systems may include operated and/or autonomous aircraft systems.
