  • an air traffic control reporting system (ATC-RS) coupled with a ground control station (GCS) and at least one remote terminal, the GCS and the at least one remote terminal in operational communication with at least one unmanned aerial system (UAS) for guidance during flight, the ATC-RS adapted to;

    gather from the GCS and the at least one remote terminal position data of the at least one UAS in an airspace, wherein the GCS and the at least one remote terminal receive the position data from the at least one UAS or the GCS and the at least one 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 transmission via automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B)/traffic information services broadcast (TIS-B) or a related message format; and
