Openness for Airspace Safety: The FLARM FAMP Public Protocol

[Sylvain C.]

Seen on the OGN discussion group... but thought it might also be of interest for people here.

FLARM recently published rather detailed info regarding their protocol.

The audacity:

Deliberately excluded are transmitting on the FLARM radio network as well as commercial and military use. There is a good reason for this: in the interest of flight safety and interference-free network operation, every transmitting device requires validation and an assigned, unique FLARM radio address. 

Pegging a GPS receiver to a garage door opener and sending the result out on a public frequency and then having the audacity to limit others of transmitting too.

Time to get them replaced with ADS-L!
