Abstract
A computer-implemented method for securing unmanned aerial system (UAS) operations includes receiving a UAS flight plan for a UAS and a UAS operation, the UAS flight plan including a flight profile and flight path for the UAS; determining a mission type for the UAS operation requires use of dummy aircraft information; and assigning a dummy UAS identification for the UAS. Generating dummy airframe information, including dummy airframe characteristics and performance data, for the UAS, includes generating dummy airframe information that corresponds to airframe information for an actual civil aircraft that could follow the received UAS flight plan. The method further includes causing the UAS to broadcast the dummy UAS identification and the dummy airframe information with an automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast signal during at least a portion of the UAS operation.
