A system for illuminating an object of interest includes a platform and a gimbaled sensor associated with an illuminator. The gimbaled sensor provides sensor data corresponding to a sensed condition associated with an area. The gimbaled sensor is configured to be articulated with respect to the platform. A first transceiver transceives communications to and from a ground control system. The ground system includes an operator control unit allowing a user to select and transmit to the first transceiver at least one image feature corresponding to the object of interest. An optical transmitter is configured to emit a signal operable to illuminate a portion of the sensed area proximal to the object of interest. A correction subsystem is configured to determine an illuminated-portion-to-object-of-interest error and, in response to the error determination, cause the signal to illuminate the object of interest.
