A threat detection system for a light armored vehicle utilizes dual-purpose optical systems, the primary functions of which are maneuvering the vehicle, targeting and surveillance. Initial detection of a threat can occur with a wide field of view optical system fixed to a main turret of the vehicle system, where a signal from the wide field of view determines the direction of a threat and is then used to slew a narrow field of view optical system towards the threat. The direction of the threat is then further defined and sent to a very narrow field of view sensor used primarily with laser illumination. The very narrow field of view sensor has sufficient spatial resolution to detect both the threat and a launch platform for countering the threat.
