Claim:
1. An unmanned aerial system position reporting system comprising: an air traffic control reporting system (ATC-RS) located on the ground and coupled with a ground control station (GCS) and at least one network-connected remote terminal, the GCS and the at least one network-connected remote terminal in operational communication with at least one unmanned aerial system (UAS) for guidance during flight, the ATC-RS comprising an automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) and traffic information services broadcast (TIS-B) transceiver, the ATC-RS adapted to: gather from the GCS and the at least one network-connected remote terminal position data of the at least one UAS in an airspace, wherein the GCS and the at least one network-connected remote terminal receive the position data from the at least one UAS or the GCS and the at least one network-connected remote terminal generate the position data while the at least one UAS moves in the airspace; selectively communicate the position of the at least one UAS in the airspace to a civilian air traffic control center (ATC), to a military command and control (C2) communication center, or to both a civilian ATC and a military C2 communication center through the ADS-B and TIS-B transceiver; and display the position of the at least one UAS in the airspace on one or more display screens coupled with the ATC-RS.
