Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards a computer-implemented method for communicating real-time aerial combat analysis and strategy. The method may include creating one or more communication channels for one or more affiliated pilots engaged in aerial combat to submit queries to an automated air battle manager (ABM), and for the one or more affiliated pilots to receive feedback from the automated ABM. The method may also include receiving data related to one or more enemy aircraft in sensory range of one or more friendly aircraft occupied by the one or more affiliated pilots, cross-referencing one or more captured images from the received data with one or more of global positioning system (GPS) coordinates and known flight formations, and detecting flight groups or determining geographic relationships between the one or more enemy aircraft based on the one or more cross-referenced images.
