1. An unmanned aerial system position reporting system comprising:

  • an air traffic control reporting system (ATC-RS) coupled with a ground control station (GCS) and located on the ground, the GCS in operational communication with an 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 position data of the UAS in an airspace, wherein the GCS receives the position data from the UAS or the GCS generates the position data while the UAS moves in the airspace;

    selectively communicate the position of the 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 UAS in the airspace on one or more display screens coupled with the ATC-RS.
