ABSTRACT:
The optical sensor (10) has a multiple telescope assembly (12), a rotating periscope assembly (14), an imager optical system (16) and a detector (18). The sensor (10) may be utilized with visible, ultraviolet or infrared wavelength radiation. Each telescope (12) views a particular sector of a scene. The rotating periscope (14) multiplexes the output of each telescope (12) to provide a combined wide field of view of each of the sectors. The system may be used in various types of navigation, pilotage, and monitoring systems.
