Abstract
A method for securing flight operations of an unmanned aerial system (UAS) includes a processor receiving a flight operation for a UAS, the flight operation defining a UAS flight profile; and the processor, based on a designation of the flight operation as sensitive, controlling an automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) transponder on the UAS to broadcast a dummy aircraft identification different from an ICAO-assigned transponder code, and dummy airframe information during at least a portion of the flight operation.
