The invention describes an air position information and traffic management system for unmanned and manned aircraft, in which the position data (20) of aircraft that are detectable by ATM sensors (2) are detected, tracked, and represented in an air position image (5) by means of ATM sensors (2) of the air position information and traffic management system (1). Also provided in the data network (3) is a tracking device (4) that is configured to track the detected position data (20) and prepare the data as an air position image (5), so that the air position image (5) may be represented on a display device (6, 18, 19) that is connectable to the data network (3). Furthermore, aircraft that are not detectable by means of ATM sensors (2) are equipped with portable position sensor devices (10, 11, 12) of the air position information and traffic management system (1), the portable position sensor devices (10, 11, 12) being configured to detect current position data (20), to communicate, by means of a radio communication device, with a ground station (14) connected to the data network (3), and to upload the position data (20) into the data network (3) so that a complete air position image (5) may be represented on a display device (6, 18, 19) that is connectable to the data network (3).
