Abstract: An aircraft search and rescue mission effectiveness system includes a display device, a searchlight assembly, and a searchlight processing system. The searchlight assembly emits a light beam toward, and thus illuminates, a point of interest, and supplies beam data that includes at least light beam orientation and distance from the searchlight assembly to the point of interest. The searchlight processing system receives aircraft data and is configured to: process the aircraft data and the beam data to generate and supply geographic coordinate data for the point of interest, command the display device to render an image that includes at least a graphical representation of the point of interest and the geographic coordinate data for the point of interest, receive a user input command, and in response to receiving the user input command, to transmit the geographic coordinate data to one or more aircraft avionics systems.
