1. A method of pointing a gimbal sensor to identify threats located in a context image of graphical user interface, comprising the steps of: reading x and y coordinate values of an object image as located in a context image provided by a sensor capable of a context field of view; using the context field of view to convert the x and y coordinate values to a first set of azimuth and elevation values for the object image from the context sensor; projecting a vector from the context sensor location in a direction indicated by the first set of azimuth and elevation values for the object image to calculate an intercept with a flat ground plane at a point T; calculating a set of derived azimuth and elevation values based on a spatial relationship between a gimbal sensor and the point T; and using the derived azimuth and elevation values as a basis for pointing the gimbal sensor at T.
