Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide remote sensing data and/or imagery (e.g., radar and/or other ranging system data, image data, and/or target detection data). A remote sensing system includes a remote sensing assembly including a scanning sensor array, and a coupled logic device. The logic device is configured to receive remote sensor returns from a plurality of remote sensor beams within an illumination zone of the remote sensing assembly, wherein each remote sensor beam is formed using the scanning sensor array and comprises a substantially static orientation relative to an absolute coordinate frame, and generate remote sensor data based, at least in part, on the remote sensor returns and the substantially static orientations of the plurality of remote sensor beams. Subsequent user input and/or the sensor data may be used to adjust operational modes and/or systems of the remote sensing system.
