Methods and systems for remote identification, messaging, and tolling of aerial vehicles

An aircraft tolling system uses tolling tags that are configured for attachment to aerial vehicles. The tolling tags include a data format that can be used by any and all aerial vehicles. The system detects and tracks aerial vehicles in a monitored airspace, and receives data from the aerial vehicles in the monitored airspace. The data include unique identifiers for each of the aerial vehicles in the monitored airspace. The system and device determine operators for the aerial vehicles in the monitored airspace based on a database of aerial vehicle and operator associations, access accounts in the database associated with each of the operators, and apply charges to the accounts associated with each of the operators in response to the reception of the unique identifiers of the aerial vehicles in the monitored airspace.
