1. A dual-mode system for accessing at least one of a government data system and a third-party data system to identify manned and unmanned systems and devices, comprising:
a remote identification network;
a remote identity management server configured to access the at least one of the government data system and the third-party data system, and further configured to securely affiliate session IDs with at least one of identity information and activity authorization information of the systems and devices, including using the access to the at least one of the government data system and the third-party data system to provide activity telemetry data to the at least one of the government data system and the third-party data system and to obtain the at least one of the identity information and the activity authorization information of the systems and devices from the at least one of the government data system and the third-party data system;
a remote identification service provider connected to the remote identity management server via the remote identification network, the remote identification service provider communicating with the remote identity management server to provide authentication of credential information;
a first transmitter associated with a first one of the systems and devices, the first transmitter broadcasting at least one of a first session ID and first activity telemetry data of the first one of the systems and devices;
a second transmitter associated with a second one of the systems or devices and in data communication with the remote identification network, the second transmitter transmitting at least one of a second session ID and second activity telemetry data of the second one of the systems and devices to the remote identification service provider;
a first hardware device including at least a first processor, a first receiver, and a first display, the first hardware device configured to receive directly from the first transmitter and display the at least one of the first session ID and the first activity telemetry data; and
a second hardware device including at least a second processor and a second receiver, the second hardware device configured to receive directly from the first transmitter the at least one of the first session ID and the first activity telemetry data, and configured to communicate with the remote identification network, the second hardware device further configured to store credential information for the second hardware device and transmit the stored credential information and the at least one of the first session ID and the first activity telemetry data to the remote identification service provider, and upon authentication of the transmitted credential information to receive from the remote identification service provider at least one of the identity information and the activity authorization information for the first one and the second one of the systems and devices.
