ABSTRACT:
A host platform having an azimuthal system based on a determined heading, has a plurality of light detectors, each arranged to receive light from a respective predetermined sector in the said azimuthal system. An electronic amplification and signal processing channel is associated with each detector whereby detection response is primarily responsive to alien warning light radiation signals. Gating circuits inhibit all channel responses during the flash of any host warning strobe flashers and also inhibit the response of any channel in which the particular detector of that channel receives direct sunlight. The detection of an alien warning light signal initiates an alarm indicating the corresponding sector receiving the warning radiation.
