I’m sure my widow will be comforted by the fact that they were able to “get the license plate” of the invisible drone that smashed through the front of my chopper. Unlike using forensics to match a bullet to a gun to a killer in “Law&Order”, there seems to be no legal ramifications for the drone operator that pulled that trigger. And I dare you to find that “license plate” after it has taken out my tail-rotor, and I auger in a mile away.
Making matters worse (as usual, with regulators) this “digital license plate” is mandated to NOT use ADS/B-out, thus I cannot see the threat looking outside, and my ADS/B-in won’t see it either.
Until every aircraft (and drone) is mandated to be equipped with ADS/B-in+out, the rule is still “see and be seen”, and even at the leisurely speed of my 'copter, those flying air-mines are “un-see-able”.
“Fines or suspensions”, hah.
