AIMES Software - Cloned

Commercial line of video processing products

AIMES 2 products work individually or together to receive, process, and archive Motion Imagery data

Leidos delivers a Motion Imagery (MI) system that receives, processes, and archives full motion video (FMV) data. Built on a foundation of more than two decades of operational experience, AIMES is both a battle-proven MI solution and a critical enabler for intelligence enterprises. Leidos designed and implemented the AIMES software suite in close alignment with the Department of Defense (DoD) Motion Imagery Standards Board (MISB) for processing and distribution of MI data.

AIMES 2 is the next generation MI processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED) suite and features an “integration by design” architecture.  AIMES provides customers with the ability to create rich interactions and highly tailored workflows within their existing software ecosystems through a JavaScript API (Application Programming Interface) and a robust broker-based messaging backend.  This open architecture empowers our customers to avoid “vendor lock-in”, freeing them to build their own custom solutions.

Applications 

AIMES 2 is the result of continuous internal research and development efforts to improve on our previous Motion Imagery solutions. As technology advances, the importance of MI management and analysis has continued to rise. Industries that can benefit from the AIMES product suite range from federal to state and local governments to a wide-variety of commercial and international markets.

Features 

  • Full Motion Video Ingestion and Management: AIMES Server is a content management system for MI video, exploited products, and related metadata. It allows users to search for and publish content across multiple, independent data stores. AIMES Server uses Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)-compliant geospatial queries and web services to allow data to be accessed by standards-based clients.
  • Enhanced Exploitation and Analysis: AIMES Exploit is an exploitation client software that interfaces with the AIMES Server database to leverage metadata richness and other data artifacts to bring mission synchronization and geospatial empowerment to data analysis and exploitation. It includes viewing of live video feeds, streamlined workflow, advanced search and geospatial visualization and search. AIMES Exploit offers an intuitive user interface with dockable windows to provide an enhanced visual environment for video exploitation and reporting.

AIMES 2 Product Portfolio

Leidos AIMES Server catalogs, indexes, and stores MISP compliant video slice files and NITF images from AIMES PICTE. AIMES Server uses Key Length Value (KLV) metadata in each slice to temporally synchronize the video with additional data available to the Server.

AIMES Server applies storage abstractions and distributed database technologies (S3, NoSQL) allowing customers to dynamically add and remove server nodes and storage when their system grows, experiences a failover condition, or connects/disconnects from a larger enterprise infrastructure.  This flexible architecture enables customers to scale their cloud-based, virtualized, or bare metal infrastructures while maintaining the seamless “one-stop” discovery, and playback experience intelligence analysts need. AIMES Server software is available on Red Hat Linux.
