Coordinated operational control of wireless charging includes receiving a notification from a first and second drone requesting charging and responsive to determining that a sufficient amount of charging resources is not available to permit charging both drones simultaneously, prioritizing charging of drones so that at least one drone is instructed to wait. The drones may be a combination of autonomous vehicles, UAVs, and UGVs. A charging corral may be used, and navigation instructions to the charging corral may be provided to a drone. Re-orientable antennas may be used to direct RF charging power in a selected direction, for example, to track the location of a drone.
