A drone detection system is configured to detect a presence of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a potential flight path of a piloted aircraft. A system processor in communication with the drone detection system determines whether the unmanned aerial vehicle presents a threat of collision and needs to be avoided by the piloted aircraft. A transmitter is controlled by the system processor and is configured to transmit, in response to detecting the presence of the unmanned aerial vehicle, a signal to interrupt flight commands sent to the unmanned aerial vehicle by a control transmitter for the unmanned aerial vehicle so as to remove the unmanned aerial vehicle from the potential flight path of the piloted aircraft.
