First off WELCOME to the forum Interesting screen nameThe Mavic Air 2 already has Remote ID. Please check your DJI Fly app settings to locate Remote ID.
Those settings are optional identifiers for DJI's AeroScope. See this post for more information.The Mavic Air 2 already has Remote ID. Please check your DJI Fly app settings to locate Remote ID.
Even if simple firmware could enable the AC to transmit the info to FAA technical specifications, there's still the issue of reliably providing the RC location in the RID. Currently the only way that can be obtained is through the location the app provides based on the mobile device's capabilities. Many mobile devices don't have GPS hardware, and the RCs themselves definitely don't.First off WELCOME to the forum Interesting screen name
It's just a DJI type of Remote ID. Odds are that could be "configured" with a FW update to meet the new FAA requirement but as of right now it is NOT the official Remote ID (but hopefully will be).
For Remote ID, the FAA is not requiring the RC to broadcast the location. Only the aircraft is required to do so.Even if simple firmware could enable the AC to transmit the info to FAA technical specifications, there's still the issue of reliably providing the RC location in the RID.

So we still have a hardware problem.

The aircraft does not need to broadcast the RC's location. That is not in the Final Draft for Remote ID.Yes, and that was @DanMan32 's point. The Aircraft needs to broadcast the RC's location. However, the RC only knows its own location if a mobile device with a GPS is attached to it, so how would the Airfract get and broadcast the remote's location for non-GPS mobile devices?
I wonder if without that, it could be classified as a Remote "module" which only has to broadcast the takeoff point, but is limited to VLOS if, in the future, other RID implementations are not limited VLOS.

The aircraft does need to broadcast where and when it took off from.
