1. A sensor mounting system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a mounting assembly coupled to a body of the vehicle, the mounting assembly having a first mounting plate spaced apart from a second mounting plate by at least one isolation member, the second mounting plate coupled to the body of the vehicle; and
a turret housing coupled to the first mounting plate so as to be movable relative to the first mounting plate, the turret housing defining at least one receptacle for a first sensing device,wherein the turret housing includes a counterbore, and the mounting assembly is received within the counterbore such that the turret housing substantially surrounds the mounting assembly.

Abstract
Systems are provided for mounting a sensor to a vehicle. In one embodiment, a sensor mounting system includes a mounting assembly coupled to a body of the vehicle. The mounting assembly has a first mounting plate spaced apart from a second mounting plate by at least one isolation member. The second mounting plate is coupled to the body of the vehicle. The sensor mounting system also includes a turret housing coupled to the first mounting plate so as to be movable relative to the first mounting plate. The turret housing defines at least one receptacle for a first sensing device.
