1. A system for detecting and tracking an object from a helicopter, comprising:
a search light connected to the helicopter;
a camera coupled to the search light; and
a processor integrated within the search light and coupled to the camera,
wherein the processor is configured to receive an input indicating at least one operation mode indicating at least one of a geographic region or a type of an object corresponding to the object, receive a video stream from the camera, compare the video stream against a pattern database, determine the object is exhibiting an anomalous behavior based on the comparison of the video stream against various anomalous scenarios stored within the pattern database, and instruct the search light to point toward the object, and
wherein the processor is further configured to continuously track the object in response to selecting the object for tracking.
