ABSTRACT:
A flying body is provided with target detection capability. The flying body has an exterior wall and a target detection device for scanning a target area disposed within the body. The target detection device includes a combined laser transmitting/receiving system, having a laser and a laser radiation detector, stationarily mounted within the flying body. A holder is displaceably mounted for movement between a first position within the body and a second position where the holder extends outside of the exterior wall of the body. A first deflection mirror is disposed on the holder for reflecting radiation coming from the target area onto the laser radiation detector when the holder is in the second position. Additionally, a second deflection mirror is disposed on the holder for deflecting radiation coming from the laser toward the target area when the holder is in the second position.
