Enterprise Mission Archive and Replay

AIMES Server™ is an advanced solution designed for capturing live video feeds while efficiently cataloging and indexing MISP compliant motion imagery in near real-time (NRT). It features an intuitive web interface for tracking system resource usage and ingestion anomalies. By utilizing Key Length Value (KLV) metadata, AIMES Server synchronizes video with supplementary data streams, enabling precise correlation and in-depth analysis. Its integrated database facilitates the archiving, indexing, and geospatial correlation of various data types, including AIMES PICTE feed messages, MISP-compliant video segments, Video Motion Target Indicator (VMTI) data (MISB 0903), NITFS-compliant still imagery, and analyst-generated chat or callout text.

AIMES Server provides versatile storage solutions, supporting local storage, Network Attached Storage (NAS), cloud storage, and various distributed database technologies. Its dynamic architecture allows customers to scale seamlessly by adding or removing server nodes and storage as their system grows, encounters failover conditions, or connects/disconnects from larger enterprise infrastructures. Whether deployed in cloud-based, virtualized, containerized, or bare-metal environments, AIMES Server ensures a unified “one-stop” discovery and playback experience, empowering intelligence analysts with the tools they need for efficient and scalable video data management.

Key Capabilities

• MISP-compliant video archiving
• Geospatial metadata indexing
• Distributed and cloud storage support
• Archived mission playback
• Monitoring and ingestion management tools
• Rapid search and retrieval workflows

Accelerated FMV Exploitation and Intelligence Production

AIMES Exploit™ is a sophisticated software solution for real-time screening, analysis, and exploitation of imagery and data, empowering users to retrieve, replay, query, and analyze complete archived missions. With full video playback controls and frame-by-frame analysis, users can precisely review and dissect mission footage for detailed insights. Equipped with powerful tools for tagging, plotting, reviewing, and exporting key objects and events within video, AIMES Exploit supports NATO APP-6 (MIL-STD-2525) joint military symbology, ensuring precision and standardization in mission-critical workflows.

Enhancing situational awareness, AIMES Exploit features a Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) Viewer and Video Moving Target Indicator (VMTI) tool. The GEOINT Viewer integrates third-party ArcGIS, Web Map Tile Service (WMTS), and Web Map Service (WMS) support, enabling users to visualize tracks, stare-points, and data layers for near real-time (NRT) mission context. The VMTI tool parses and visualizes MISB 0903 object detection data, supporting Activity-Based Intelligence (ABI) and Structured Observation Management (SOM) analysis and reporting paradigms.

The latest version of AIMES Exploit introduces collaborative capabilities, allowing users to share and edit products efficiently through a shared work tray feature. Additionally, metadata-driven functionality enables the identification of previous reports, providing enhanced situational awareness and facilitating pattern-of-life analysis. AIMES Exploit is the ultimate tool for intelligence professionals seeking to streamline workflows, improve decision-making, and maximize mission success.
