In one example, a method of operating a plurality of aerial vehicles in an environment includes receiving, at a first command module of a first aerial vehicle navigating along a first flight path, sensor data from one or more sensors on board the first aerial vehicle. The sensor data reflects one or more characteristics of the environment. The method further includes determining, via the first command module, a change from a predetermined formation to a different formation for a second aerial vehicle based at least in part on the sensor data, where the predetermined formation and the different formation are relative to the first aerial vehicle. The method also including generating, via the first command module, control signals reflecting the change from the predetermined formation to the different formation and sending the control signals from the first aerial vehicle to the second aerial vehicle.

Aerial vehicle navigation system

Pilot health monitoring systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided. A pilot health monitoring system is configured to collect information regarding the pilot's physiological and/or physical characteristics, and information regarding a state of the aircraft; analyze the information; determine a health condition of the pilot and/or a state of the aircraft; and/or provide warnings and/or commands as a function of the information.
