In simple terms, it means gathering enough evidence to say more than &ldquo;there is a drone.&rdquo; Detection tells you that something is present. Tracking tells you where it is moving. Identification asks a stronger question: which drone, which operation, or which cooperative identity is involved, and how confident can the system be about that answer?</p> <p>That distinction matters because beginners often use <code>detection</code> and <code>identification</code> as if they were interchangeable. In practice they are not. A system may detect a drone by radar, RF sensing, or visual analytics without knowing anything specific about its cooperative identity. A system may track that drone for several minutes without being able to say whether it is authorized, what its serial-related broadcast information is, or who is controlling it. Identification requires stronger evidence than simple presence or movement.</p>
