A method for controlling a searchlight onboard a vehicle to search for a target using an illuminated area. The method obtains position data (including at least a current azimuth value) and attitude data (including at least a current elevation value) for the searchlight; calculates a point of interest (POI) for the searchlight and a defined search area to search for the target, based on the current azimuth value and the current elevation value, the POI comprising a searchlight center point of impact or a moving target location; optimizes a searchlight coverage area for the defined search area, based on the POI; computes an adjustment to current parameters of the searchlight for generating the optimized searchlight coverage area, wherein the set of adjusted parameters comprises at least one of an adjusted illumination area and an adjusted illumination density value; and initiates operation of the searchlight using the set of adjusted parameters.
