Re: [Drip] Comment on -arch-22

Hi,

I was under the impression that Corus is completed. I do not know the -xuam postfix. Is it a follow-on or subproject?

Since Corus is more related to U-SPACE and therefore (internet-) connected services, and our projects are more related to the vehicles themselves, I suspect there is some use in better coordination. We do of course consume results from such projects, but I get the impression that on occasion they're less connected than might be useful. That's generally the case between any of these projects, also we are sometimes busy transferring insights from one to the other and back.

It's interesting as well that the drone identification issue overlaps in the communication space with the more general discussion occurring in int-area on locators vs identifiers. The latter here is a network identifier, which from a communications perspective shouldn't be all that different from the drone identifier - either one derived from the other, or the same. That is, it is desirable from a ground control station to "speak with the drone" rather than "speak with the first network interface on the drone" or "speak with the IP address that the first network interface of the drone currently has assigned".

I'm trying to provide this perspective to that conversation at the moment. That's also the lens through which I'm exploring DRIP. Fun times ahead!

Jens
