For example, would a drone controlled from, let's say, MacDill be identifiable as being so controlled?

Highlight:

When a drone is flying over a particular area, can observers tell who is controlling it? (Original Post) Stinky The Clown Mar 2022 OP

And can control be taken over by somebody else? UTUSN Mar 2022 #1

3. They can scan the frequencies to find if it's commercial or military.

And if it's military, can probably narrow down the overall organization.

I have no clue about any of this. Just asking questions as they come to me.
