A system is provided that includes a gimbal yoke, a gimbal swing arm, an elevation tilt platform, and a sensor. The gimbal yoke is configured to rotate about an azimuth rotation axis. The gimbal swing arm is rotationally coupled to the gimbal yoke, and is configured to rotate about an elevation rotation axis. The elevation rotation axis is oriented perpendicular to the azimuth rotation axis. The elevation tilt platform is rotationally coupled to the gimbal swing arm, and is configured to rotate about a tilt rotation axis. The tilt rotation axis is oriented parallel to the elevation rotation axis. The sensor is disposed on the elevation tilt platform. The sensor defines a line of sight.
