Line-of-sight sensor mounting system and method

A line-of-sight (LoS) sensor mounting system for operatively mounting a LoS receiver and LoS transmitter on a structure having a first external wall and an opposed external wall, the system comprising:

• a mounting plate having a mounting plate LoS aperture defined therein dimensioned to correspond and align with a first external wall LoS aperture formed within the first external wall for secure mounting in relation thereto;
• and
• an alignment jig comprising a mounting plate engagement structure and an alignment barrel extending therefrom to define a LoS axis between the first external wall and the opposed external wall;
• wherein said alignment barrel is dimensioned to receive an aperture-forming tool operable therethrough along said LoS axis so to form a counterpart external wall LoS aperture within the opposed external wall such that the LoS receiver and the LoS transmitter can be operatively mounted in alignment with the first external wall LoS aperture and the counterpart external wall LoS aperture for operation along said LoS axis.
