Abstract
A radiation surveillance sensor system includes a radiation responsive sensor, a lightweight, radiation reflective member for selectively adjusting the incident radiation path to the sensor, and power means for controlling the position of the reflective member to achieve pan, tilt, or zoom functions for obtaining predetermined selectable view locations of the sensor. Similarly, a method for selectively controlling deflection of radiation from a field to be monitored by generating a 360 degree panoramic field of view includes the steps of fixedly positioning a radiation sensor for receiving radiation from a field to be observed, movably positioning a mirror-like surface for selectively reflecting radiation from the field to be observed towards the sensor, and rotatably driving the reflective mirror to selectively reflect radiation from the mirror to the fixedly mounted sensor to achieve up to a 360 degree panoramic view.
