Systems and methods for air cargo container damage monitoring

A method for monitoring cargo loading, comprising:

• receiving, by an on ground infrastructure network, image data of cargo from a camera;
• directing, by the on ground infrastructure network, the camera to activate, wherein the camera is configured to capture image data;
• initiating, by the on ground infrastructure network, a sensor to scan a unit load device;
• interfacing, by the on ground infrastructure network, the on ground infrastructure network with a field device, wherein the interfacing further comprises:
• receiving, by the on ground infrastructure network, the image data from the field device;
• and
• sending, by the on ground infrastructure network, feedback to the field device, wherein the feedback comprises a damage classification;
• monitoring, by the on ground infrastructure network, loading of cargo based on the damage classification;
• and
• instructing, by the on ground infrastructure network, a cargo loading system to halt cargo loading in response to the damage classification.
