Strategic Disclosure in Congested Low-Altitude Drone Traffic

Research question: When competing drone operators have privately known commercial-confidentiality costs, how much flight-intent information will they strategically disclose as low-altitude traffic congestion changes, and when does the resulting equilibrium disclosure differ from the socially desirable level?

In plain language: sharing more may improve coordination, but it can also expose commercially sensitive route and timing patterns.

Evidence boundary: This Space is an exploratory classroom decision exercise. Participant choices are not a representative sample of drone operators, firms, or the public. They do not establish how real operators would behave and do not validate the model's external accuracy.

Numerical parameters are stylized normalized benchmarks rather than empirically calibrated estimates.

Your role

You are one of two competing commercial drone operators using the same congested low-altitude traffic network.

Choose how much additional flight-intent information to disclose. Mandatory safety information is always available and is not part of this choice.
