A communications infrastructure (RSU) 30 with its airspace controller 32 provides a geo-fencing system that is capable of adaptive and progressive levels of control authority over the unmanned aircraft system (UAS) e.g., drone 20. The communications infrastructure (RSU) 30 is able to uniquely identify the drone 20, take partial control over the drone 20 to prevent the drone 20 from approaching controlled airspace, take complete control over the drone 20 for the purpose of directing the drone 20 to a specific location via a specific route (i.e. a flight profile), and/or the disabling of the drone 20. The drone 20 includes flight control system 50, vehicle processing system (VPU) 54, and communications system (V2I system) 56. Various data objects are transmitted between the communications system (V2I system) 56 of the drone 20 and the communications infrastructure (RSU) 30. The drone 20 is configured to perform self-check, e.g., of its communications system (V2I system) 56, and to enter a fault mode of operation for overriding propulsion and directionality of the unmanned aerial vehicle during problematic conditions.
