Abstract

An unmanned aerial system (UAS) position reporting system includes an air traffic control reporting system (ATC-RS) coupled with a ground control station (GCS) of an UAS where the ATC-RS includes an automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) and a traffic information services broadcast (TIS-B) transceiver and one or more telecommunications modems. The ATC-RS may receives position data of the UAS in an airspace from the GCS and communicates the position of the UAS to a civilian air traffic control center (ATC) or to a military command and control (C2) communication center. The ATC-RS may display the position of the UAS on one or more display screens. Implementations of related methods may include receiving position data for a UAS within a radio frequency line of sight (RFLOS) region and/or a beacon line of sight region with an ATC-RS and transmitting the position data to an ATC and one or more aircraft.
