Abstract
A method for coordinating multiplexed communication of data among multiple piloted assets and multiple requestors via a common software application includes receiving a mission request via the common software application, defining a common mission based on the mission request via the common software application, and coordinating the multiplexed communication using multiple communication channels. The coordinating includes exchanging data with multiple piloted aerial drone assets relaying a communication from one of the piloted assets to at least one other piloted asset, via the software application. When a new piloted asset joins the common mission, communication is facilitated via the software application between the further piloted asset and the multiple piloted assets. Upon detection that a piloted asset from the multiple piloted assets is no longer associated with the common mission, communication via the software application between that piloted asset and the remaining piloted assets is prevented.
