1. A system comprising: a support; a pan-tilt mechanism mounted to said support; an assembly mounted to said pan-tilt mechanism, said assembly comprising a camera and a nondestructive evaluation instrument which are affixed to each other; and a computer system programmed to execute the following operations: (a) controlling said pan-tilt mechanism to determine a direction vector to a target object; (b) controlling said camera to acquire image data representing an image of an area on a surface of the target object which is intersected by the direction vector; (c) processing the image data to determine whether the image of the area includes information indicating presence of an anomaly in the area; (d) if it is determined in operation (c) that the image data includes information indicating the presence of an anomaly in the area, determining coordinates of a position of the anomaly relative to a coordinate system of the target object based on the image data; (e) controlling said pan-tilt mechanism to direct said nondestructive evaluation instrument toward an area on the target object having said coordinates; and (f) controlling said nondestructive evaluation instrument to acquire nondestructive evaluation measurement data from said area on the target object having said coordinates using a stand-off nondestructive evaluation technique.
