A system to remotely detect and identify an airborne drone presenting a flight risk to crewed aircraft. A warning of the hazardous drone is provided to the crewed aircraft. An airborne drone is observed by any of several means, to include for example by receipt of drone location or identification data transmitted by the drone, the crewed aircraft, or a ground-based system, or through a sensor positioned on the ground, on the drone, or aboard the crewed aircraft. The safety warning and real-time observation of a hazardous drone may be shared among other crewed aircraft or drones, in particular to other subscribing aircraft and/or drones approaching the airspace of the hazardous drone.
