On December 9, 2025, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Standardization Administration approved two mandatory national standards: GB 46761-2025 "Requirements for Real-Name Registration and Activation of Civil Unmanned Aircraft" and GB 46750-2025 "Operation Identification Specification for Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems". Both standards will take effect on May 1, 2026.
Under the new regulations, all newly manufactured drones must broadcast Remote ID information over WiFi or Bluetooth. For existing drones, manufacturers must provide firmware or hardware upgrade solutions before November 1, 2026. This means that nearly all drones in the future will broadcast Remote ID identity information, providing a stronger technical foundation for low-altitude safety regulation and personal privacy protection.
To adapt to the latest GB 46750 Remote ID standard protocol, we have significantly upgraded the Android app "RID Detector". The new V1.3.0 can detect and locate the latest models such as the DJI Mini 5 Pro, and supports both WiFi and Bluetooth BLE GB 46750 broadcasts.
1. Background on the New National Standard
GB 46750-2025 "Operation Identification Specification for Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems" is China's mandatory national standard for drone remote identification, aligned with mainstream international Remote ID protocols. The standard requires drones to broadcast the following information during operation:
- Unique drone identification
- Real-time position, altitude, and speed
- Pilot position
- Home point position
Broadcasting this information helps regulators, other airspace users, and the public identify the identity and intent of drones in the air, thereby improving low-altitude airspace safety.
2. App Upgrade Highlights
1. Full Support for GB 46750-2025
Version 1.3.0 fully adapts to the GB 46750-2025 standard and can correctly parse Remote ID broadcast messages compliant with the new standard, covering both WiFi Beacon and Bluetooth BLE broadcast channels.
2. Compatibility with Latest Models
The upgraded app can detect and locate the latest models using the newest Remote ID protocol, such as the DJI Mini 5 Pro, without waiting for additional manufacturer adaptation.
3. Dual-Channel Detection
The app supports both WiFi and Bluetooth BLE broadcast detection, maintaining a high detection success rate in different electromagnetic environments.
3. Real-World Test Screenshots
Below are real-world test screenshots using RID Detector V1.3.0. Please note that the drone must have its propellers spinning or be airborne before it starts broadcasting Remote ID information. When using the app, please enable both WiFi and Bluetooth, and it is recommended to enter developer mode and disable the Android system limit on WiFi scan frequency.
1. Latest DJI Mini 5 Pro
2. GB 46750 RID Modules
3. Multiple Drones Detected Simultaneously
4. Usage Tips
App usage tip: You need to enable developer mode and turn off the Android system limit on WiFi scan frequency. Otherwise, the detection refresh rate will be slow, and some phones may not detect drones at all. Turning off this option will not affect phone security, so please use it with confidence.

The "RID Detector" app is free software (beta version) designed to provide users with the ability to scan nearby drones. The developer makes no promises regarding the continuity, stability, or completeness of the service. The app's functionality fully aligns with the original design intent of the national Remote ID standard.
