3 Serial Number General
All UASs shall be assigned a unique serial number that becomes part of a Physical Serial Number (PSN),to be printed on the UAS, and an Electronic Serial Number (ESN) that may be associated with the UAS.
3.1 Physical Serial Number
Each PSN shall comprise three basic components: the Manufacturer’s Code, the Length Code, and the Serial Number.
CTA, in collaboration with all stakeholders, is responsible for developing and maintaining procedures that specify the procedure to be followed pertaining to the acquisition and regulation of the PSN Manufacturer’s Codes. As Manufacturer Code Administrator, CTA manages the PSN Manufacturer’s Code component. The remaining segment of the PSN, the Serial Number, will be directly administered by the manufacturer to which the PSN Manufacturer Code is assigned.
3.1.1 Physical Serial Number – Format
The format of the PSN is:
The Manufacturer (MFR) Code is a 4 character alphanumeric code (Note: MFR Codes shall include any combination of digits and uppercase letters, except the letters O and I, but may include all digits.) The Length Code is a single alpha character that corresponds to the number of characters in the serial number that is included in the PSN. The alpha characters range from A to T signifying the range of 1 to 20 characters in the serial number (e.g., A = 1, B=2, H=8, T=20). The Length Code will not be included in the ESN.
The Serial Number, which is generated by the manufacturer, is an alphanumeric code with a maximum of 20 characters (Note: Serial Number shall include any combination of digits and uppercase letters, except the letters O and I, but may include all digits.) The actual number of characters used by the manufacturer shall be indicated by the preceding Length Code.
3.2 Electronic Serial Number
Each ESN shall comprise four basic components: the Manufacturer’s Code, the Serial Number, the IMEISV Identifier, and Performative Characteristics.
3.2.1 Electronic Serial Number – Format
The format of the ESN is:
The ESN is a fixed format and therefore when transmitted the ESN is always transmitted as 47 characters.ANSI CTA-2063 pdf download.
