The AIMS family of products provides the capability to gather sensor data, to integrate it and to display it as useable information on any selected digital map. This core functionality is common to all applications. To meet the specific sensors, links or desired user interface. Also, in the case of electro-optical, radar, or other sensors that provide raw data that are useful to the operator, CarteNav provides other screens of information on a display, or displays, in the user interface architecture desired by the operator.
AIMS-ISR® provides operators with a superb situational awareness tool. That tool integrates and displays geographical and track data from any and all sensors and links on a moving map, together with images as required. That data can be recorded for playback and archival purposes, and the Software provides pre and post-mission analysis capability. Further, AIMS-ISR® quickly, accurately and easily controls the latest generation of EO turrets, principally by slewing the turret to a geographic position or other sensor contact on the moving map.

The most advanced version of AIMS-ISR® combines these capabilities with the functionality of a number of operators working independently to process data into information and knowledge, to control sensors and other equipment, and to use the operational picture generated, together with advanced tools, to take decisions. The various workstations consist of suitable computers and displays, and are linked via a TCP/IP network.
AIMS-ISR® provides sensor integration and control, and a command and control capability suitable for patrol aircraft, patrol vessels, small warships, and army reconnaissance vehicles. For example, AIMS-ISR® is being used as the data management system (DMS) on small aircraft equipped with EO and other sensors. For several mission types, this provides a low-cost, high-value option to a maritime patrol aircraft (MPA). Further, a strong market has developed for AIMS-ISR® to provide an upgrade to existing MPA. This upgrade integrates sensor contact data from an existing installed DMS, with contact data from new sensors and links. The most common new integration requirement involves data from EO cameras and the Automated Identification System (AIS) data from ocean going vessels with pre-existing sensors. |
