Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A flight control system (100) includes a first sensor assembly (102) and a second sensor assembly (112) with substantially redundant sensor capabilities as the first sensor assembly (102). A flight control system (109) is operatively connected to the first and second sensor assemblies (102,112) to control each assembly individually. Sensors (104,114) of the first and second assemblies (102,112) can include LIDAR and EO/IR sensors. The first and second sensor assemblies (102,112) can be each mounted in a respective gimbal (106,116) such that the first and second sensors (104,114) rotate varying degrees to obtain a desired field of view.
