Current persistent surveillance approaches require robust designs to maintain a fixed operational picture. In this paper, we design, develop, and demonstrate a feasible aimpoint solution. In the design, we derive the mathematical transformation requirements to show a system-level design. Using the transformations, we develop an operational methodology for real-time and robust aimpoint solution that includes a ground antenna, and an aircraft with a gimbal mounted camera and data link. Finally, we demonstrate a workable prototype with real-world results. The AIMS methodology supports communication timing constraints, a closed-loop feedback for error correction, and a succinct, efficient, and effective method for maintaining persistent surveillance.
