Abstract

The disclosed system and apparatus for a sensor support structure generally includes a substantially reflective support strut having discontinuous protrusions on the support surface presented to the field of view of the sensor. These discontinuous protrusions may be suitably configured such that ambient thermal radiation is generally reflected away from the support strut and divergent from acceptance in the sensor's optical train.
