What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for detecting radiation, comprising: an entry window configured to receive radiation from a target, the entry window having an outer surface and an inner surface, such that the outer surface is not parallel to the inner surface; a waveguide having an entrance and an exit; a reflective conduit extending between the inner surface of the entry window and the entrance of the waveguide; and a radiation sensor disposed at the exit of the waveguide; wherein at least a portion of the radiation propagated through the entry window further propagates through the reflective conduit and through the waveguide to the radiation sensor. 2. The apparatus, according to claim 1, further comprising: a filter disposed between the reflective conduit and the waveguide, such that a portion of the radiation propagated through the reflective conduit is allowed to propagate through the filter. 3. The apparatus, according to claim 2, wherein the filter is a Fabry-Perot filter. 4. The apparatus, according to claim 2, wherein the entry window is configured to refract radiation substantially perpendicular to the filter. 5. The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein an inner surface of the reflective conduit is polished. 6. The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein the radiation is one of light visible to a human eye and light non-visible to the human eye. 7. The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein the radiation sensor is configured to output at least one signal representing at least one characteristic of the radiation. 8. A munition, comprising: a body; and an apparatus for detecting radiation, operably associated with the body, comprising: an entry window configured to receive radiation from a target, the entry window having an outer surface exposed from the body and an inner surface, such that the outer surface is not parallel to the inner surface; a waveguide having an entrance and an exit; a reflective conduit extending between the inner surface of the entry window and the entrance of the waveguide; and a radiation sensor disposed at the exit of the waveguide; wherein at least a portion of the radiation propagated through the entry window further propagates through the reflective conduit and through the waveguide to the radiation sensor. 9. The munition, according to claim 8, further comprising: a filter disposed between the reflective conduit and the waveguide, such that a portion of the radiation propagated through the reflective conduit is allowed to propagate through the filter. 10. The munition, according to claim 9, wherein the filter is a Fabry-Perot filter. 11. The munition, according to claim 9, wherein the entry window is configured to refract radiation substantially perpendicular to the filter. 12. The munition, according to claim 8, wherein an inner surface of the reflective conduit is polished. 13. The munition, according to claim 8, wherein the radiation is one of light visible to a human eye and light non-visible to the human eye. 14. The munition, according to claim 8, further comprising: a plurality of control surfaces; and a trajectory controller operably associated with the plurality of control surfaces and the apparatus for detecting radiation. 15. The munition, according to claim 14, wherein the radiation sensor is configured to output at least one signal representing at least one characteristic of the radiation to the trajectory controller. 16. The munition, according to claim 8, wherein the apparatus for detecting radiation is operably associated with a nose of the munition. 17. The munition, according to claim 16, wherein the nose is generally conic in shape.
