When you are using the public airspace, airwaves, or waterways there is an obligation to identify yourself to others.

- hajile 4y agoWhen you use public roads, why shouldn't I be able to track everywhere you go and tell the world exactly where you are?
- bestcoder69 4y agoYou can... who's stopping you?
- monetus 4y agoYeah, it costs money but you can buy someone's location data in real time.
- to11mtm 4y agoBecause it's not an airspace where speed/visibility are important for a variety of reasons... FBOW moreso post 9-11
- slowhand09 4y agoEvidently not. I live on the Chesapeake Bay. I see many Coast Guard and Navy vessels regularly that are not broadcasting AIS signals used for the safety of vessels nearby. Yet others do. I also see many military aircraft not broadcasting ADS-B, yet many are.
- mike_d 4y agoThe vast majority of military ships and aircraft operating domestically have collision avoidance (ADSB/AIS out) turned on. When conducting sensitive operations they can turn it off, but must be in direct communications with the appropriate controlling authority and almost always have a primary radar system active.
