• Cooperative drones:

  • Willingly broadcast their identity and flight information (via Remote ID or ADSB).

  • They comply with standards and are generally used in legal or authorized contexts.

  • Easily identifiable and trackable by the system.

• Non-cooperative drones:

  • Do not broadcast any identifying signals intentionally.

  • Typically detected via RF interception (e.g., signal between drone and controller).

  • Often associated with unauthorized or suspicious behavior.

💡 The classification is based on the drone’s intentional signal sharing behavior.
