Unmanned Aerial Vehicles also known as UAVs or Drones, either autonomous or remotely piloted, may be fitted with an Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) transponder for tracking and identification. Remotely piloted drones require a high bandwidth RF transceiver for video and/or control inputs, but the IFF system does not. Fully autonomous vehicles might utilize only the low bandwidth IFF transponder. This invention utilizes the existing cellular network and physical infrastructure to provide UAV command and control functionality over most of the national area.
