My current employment is supporting military air search radars and I attended an unclassified manufactures conference earlier this year. Spent half a day discussing the capabilities for detection and classification of drones. One manufacture had a live remote demonstration and the system detected and classified a drone on the first pass of the antenna. Range and altitude were not disclosed but the system is capable of plotting a lat and long position that can be used for a map overlay and to direct law enforcement to the location. Airports have been using the tech for several years and the military is just catching on.

In other words know where you are flying and if the are is a no go zone for drones and even RC aircraft. They are fun but governments don't have much of a sense of enjoyment besides power projection.
