An aerial monitoring system (12) for agricultural equipment includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (10). A controller (120) of the UAV (10) is configured to receive a first signal indicative of a position and a velocity of a reference point (148) on a target agricultural tool, and to determine a target point relative to the reference point (148) that provides a line-of-sight to a target object on the target agricultural tool. The controller (120) is also configured to output a second signal to a movement control system (36) of the UAV (10) indicative of instructions to move the UAV (10) to the target point and to maintain the velocity of the reference point (148) in response to reaching the target point. In addition, the controller (120) is configured output a third signal to a sensor control system (40) of the UAV (10) indicative of instructions to direct a sensor assembly (38) of the UAV (10) toward the target object.
