Systems and method may provide unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) connection monitoring and location reporting. A method implemented by at least one processor includes receiving, by an unmanned aerial system application enabler (UAE) server, a location report indicating a location of the UAV from a location management (LM) server; receiving, by the UAE server, a lost connection report indicating a loss of connection with the UAV; receiving, by the UAE server, a connection resumption report from a network resource management (NRM) server indicating that the connection with the UAV has been re-established; and based on receiving the connection resumption report, transmitting, from the UAE server, a location update request to the LM server.
