A method of controlling a directional facing of a sensor mounted to a vehicle includes storing, by a sensor control computer, previously-searched locations of a terrain at which the sensor is directed. The method includes determining a likelihood of detecting a target at one or more points on the terrain and controlling a directional facing of the sensor onto the terrain based on the previously-searched locations and the likelihood of detecting the target.
