Interesting. Seems possible then to send your own signals spoofing drone locations. You could fill the receiver with drones that are not there.

Yes. As always, the choice to not use encryption cuts both ways. No secrecy for the sender, but no guarantee of authenticity for the receiver.

Annoyingnoob seems to have the obvious quick and dirty solution: "overwrite" the real signals; obfuscate by sending out a blizzard of false signals to mask the rare true ones.
