About Sky Aims
Sky Artificial Intelligence Monitoring System (Sky AIMS) is a system of video and computer networks running multilateration Visual Artificial Intelligence software to monitor and assist in managing orbital satellites, aircraft and drone traffic.
It can also provide geometrical informational coordination for laser communication in proliferation networks of satellites.
While modern technology can measure location precisely and generate extremely detailed depictions of geographic feature location, it remains a concern in both civilian and military domains to timely identifying, launching, tracking, directing and avoiding moving airborne objects, which may be satellites, aircraft, drones, birds, and others.
On January 30, 2025, a tragic accident occurred when an American Airlines regional jet collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. A video released on various news networks showed the Black Hawk flew steadily toward the landing regional jet. Among possible issues, preliminary investigation focuses on altimeter readings, routing discrepancies and intermittent communication.
On February 25, 2025, a Southwest Airlines aircraft and a business jet narrowly avoided a collision at Chicago Midway International Airport.
The above incidents are examples of the need for improved air traffic observations, accounting, regulations and controls.
They also give warnings to other airspace access technologies, including drones and satellites.
Sky AIMS is an answer. The technology can capture and compute space-time properties and attributes of objects – accessible and available in RADAR, Precision Approach Radar[1] (PAR) and visual equipment - such as shape, color, speed, direction, rotation, vibration, shape changes.
In addition, Sky AIMS is an artificial intelligence network that classifies and can assist with coordination of flying objects, both civilian and military, known and unknown.
It includes multilateration and trilateration functions.
Moreover, Sky AIMS seeks to confirm employment and enhancement of commercial video cameras with visual AI to improve airport safety.
The scope of the paper, however, is applicable beyond airplanes and airports. Drone flying is popular in the United States and will be important in commercial and military defense applications. Sky AIMS will aid in defining safety criteria and monitoring flying objects, including satellites.
