[Drip] ADSB (was: Review of draft-drip-arch-02 w.r.t. RFC6973, RFC8280 and other)

Sorry for the slow reply.

ADS-B is gradually being mandated for essentially all manned aircraft.

ADSB-In and ADSB-Out are mandated for airliners: -In gives their pilots
some Situational Awareness (SA) of other aircraft; -Out gives other
pilots SA of the airliners.

"ADSB-Out" is mandated even for small general aviation aircraft: it does
not directly benefit the pilots of those aircraft; but by providing SA
to others, it indirectly benefits all.

ADSB is _not_ going to be deployed on large numbers of small UAS as it
would overwhelm the limited bandwidth available at those lower radio
frequencies (which propagate long ranges). In fact, it is expected to be
explicitly prohibited in the US per the FAA NPRM; I suspect most of the
rest of the world will do likewise.

ADSB is also altogether insecure.
