Systems and methods are disclosed including a moving platform system suitable for mounting and use on a moving platform for communicating in real-time, comprising: a position system monitoring location of the moving platform and generating a sequence of time-based position data; a non-line of sight communication system; a high-speed line of sight communication system; and a computer system monitoring an availability of the non-line of sight communication system and the high-speed line of sight communication system and initiating connections when the non-line of sight communication system and the high-speed line of sight communication system are available, and receiving the sequence of time-based position data and transmitting the sequence of time-based position data via the at least one of the currently available non-line of sight communication system and the high-speed line of sight communication system.
