The MoD said unmanned Reaper aircraft had operated from the station
Six people, including two priests, have appeared in court in connection with criminal damage at a Lincolnshire air base.
The group, which said they represent Disarm the Drones, were arrested on Monday morning at RAF Waddington.
All six denied a charge of criminal damage when they appeared at Lincoln Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
In April, the Ministry of Defence said unmanned aircraft - known as drones - had operated from the station.
The group was remanded in custody prior to their court appearance and have now been released on conditional bail before a hearing to fix a trial on 4 July.
The defendants are:
Reverend Keith Oliver Hebden, 37, of Nottingham Road, Mansfield
Penelope Walker, 62, of Gutham Street, Leicester
Susan Clarkson, 66, of Bath Street, Oxford
Christopher Cole, 49, of Wilkins Road, Oxford
Henrietta Cullinan, 51, of Trumans Road, London
Father Martin Newell, 45, of Mattison Road, London
