Methods and apparatus are provided for controlling a movement of a sensor platform. The method includes receiving a desired position of the platform from a source. The desired position includes a first coordinate value and a second coordinate value. The method includes, based on the first coordinate value and the second coordinate value, calculating, by a processor, a first value associated with a first axis of rotation of the platform and calculating a second value associated with a second axis of rotation of the platform. The method includes outputting, by the processor, one or more control signals to at least one motor associated with the platform to move the platform based on the first value and the second value.
