A light-sensing module and arrays of two or more light-sensing modules are
described. Each light-sensing module comprises a mounting support
structure that may include an air vehicle guidance section and an optical
element adapted to direct incident light to a detector array that
comprises an array of photodiodes and is attached to the mounting support
structure. The detector array is adapted to receive the directed light
and convert the received light to a set of electrical pulses via a
plurality of photodetectors each of which is operatively coupled to an
amplifier and a threshold circuit adapted to output a detection to a
memory store adapted to associate a detection with a time-of-arrival. The
light-sensing module may be adapted to output the associated detection
and time-of-arrival. Air vehicles including the light-sensing modules are
also disclosed.
