Multi-function airborne sensor system |
摘要 |
Various embodiments provide a sensor system including a first optical sub-system having a first plurality of optical elements, and a second optical sub-system having a second plurality of optical elements including a first mirror. The second optical sub-system is configured to rotate about a first axis relative to the first optical sub-system and the first mirror is configured to rotate about a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. The first axis and the second axis are arranged so as not to intersect each other so as to maximize a field of regard of the sensor system. |

1. A sensor system comprising:
a first optical sub-system comprising a first plurality of optical elements; and a second optical sub-system comprising a second plurality of optical elements including a first mirror and an afocal fore-optics configured to receive radiation from the first mirror and to transmit the radiation towards the first optical sub-system, the second optical sub-system configured to rotate about a first axis relative to the first optical sub-system and the first mirror configured to rotate about a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis; wherein the first axis and the second axis are arranged so as not to intersect each other so as to maximize a field of regard of the sensor system, and wherein the first axis is substantially parallel to a radiation beam output by the afocal fore-optics.
