Abstract: Some embodiments include a system having a detection sensor array, which includes multiple detection sensors with each detection sensor having an enabled state and a disabled state, and having a control module configured to operate the detection sensor array. Under the enabled state, each detection sensor is configured to detect and identify electromagnetic radiation, and under the disabled state, each detection sensor is configured not to detect and identify electromagnetic radiation. Further, the detection sensor array comprises a test state and an operational state. Other embodiments of related systems and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of operating a detection sensor array. The detection sensor array has multiple detection sensors. Each detection sensor of the multiple detection sensors has an enabled state and a disabled state, and each detection sensor of the multiple detection sensors is configured to detect and identify electromagnetic radiation when in the enabled state and not to detect and identify electromagnetic radiation when in the disabled state. The detection sensor array also has a test state in which all of the multiple detection sensors operate in the enabled state when the detection sensor array is in the test state. Other embodiments of related systems and methods are also disclosed.
