A flight control system includes a first sensor assembly and a second sensor assembly with substantially redundant sensor capabilities as the first sensor assembly. A flight control system is operatively connected to the first and second sensor assemblies to control each assembly individually. Sensors of the first and second assemblies can include LIDAR and EO/IR sensors. The first and second sensor assemblies can be each mounted in a respective gimbal such that the first and second sensors rotate varying degrees to obtain a desired field of view.
