| Abstract: | A gimbaled multispectral imaging system and method is described herein.
In an general embodiment, the gimbaled multispectral imaging system has a
cross support that defines a first gimbal axis and a second gimbal axis,
wherein the cross support is rotatable about the first gimbal axis. The
gimbaled multispectral imaging system comprises a telescope that fixed to
an upper end of the cross support, such that rotation of the cross
support about the first gimbal axis causes the tilt of the telescope to
alter. The gimbaled multispectral imaging system includes optics that
facilitate on-gimbal detection of visible light and off-gimbal detection
of infrared light. |
