That seems unlikely when the WiFi network is private.

The main use case for drone is any kind of situation where sending a person is 
less desirable; very often, these coincide with limited access to the public 
Internet. AAA concerns here must necessarily cover cases where centralized 
identity systems are inaccessible. My understanding is that "Non-3GPP access 
networks" do require this identity system.

It's also worth understanding that while the ground station authenticating the 
drone is of some interest, it is far more important for the drone to 
authenticate the ground station - verifying command & control instructions is 
safety critical, authenticating the drone is more of a DoS protection by 
comparison.

"Flat addresses" is exactly the kind of view of an identifier that's of 
interest here.
