Sensor array A sensor array was a device in which a group of sensor s were combined ; an example was the forward sensor array on starships . Subprocessor s were part of a sensor array . ( ) In April 2151 , when observing , Captain Jonathan Archer was eager to get a look at her lateral sensor array . ( ) Officers from the Andorian Imperial Guard searched for a sensor array hidden beneath the Vulcan monastery of P ' Jem on three occasions . On their first two visits there , no such sensor array was found , so they left within a day . During their third visit , in 2151 , though , a covert sensor array was indeed discovered by an Andorian team of four , led by Commander Shran , and a landing party from the starship , led by Captain Archer . ( ) The used a duotronic sensor array . This ship , and its fellow ships , were equipped with two sensor arrays . They were located on the top and bottom of the primary hull . ( ; ) In 2367 , Commander William T . Riker suggested running a diagnostic on the ' s forward sensor array when the two - dimensional lifeform s were first detected . ( ) Even an enhanced sensor array aboard the " Enterprise " - D wasn ' t able to locate the transformed Geordi La Forge on the surface of planet Tarchannen III . ( ) When studying the Phoenix Cluster in early 2368 , only one long - range array was available for fifteen science teams . The available bandwidth was increased , however , by multiplexing the array . ( ) In 2369 , Chief Miles O ' Brien and his assistant Neela did modifications to several systems of Deep Space 9 . O ' Brien told Neela to re - route the signal enhancement module to the main sensor array . ( ) When the Starfleet crew of Deep Space 9 was forced to hand over the station to the Alliance for Global Unity - controlled Bajoran Militia , they sabotaged the sensor array . ( ) In 2370 the Albino had a subspace sensor array inside his base on Secarus IV . The Legendary Klingon Captains Kang , Koloth , and Kor along with Dax destroyed it to prevent the Albino from finding them when they went on their vendetta . ( DS9 : " Blood Oath " ) In 2371 , in the mirror universe , was working on a transpectral sensor array that would allow the Alliance to easily locate ships in the Badlands . ( ) In 2372 , Kar damaged the lateral sensor array on Commander Chakotay ' s shuttlecraft after attacking it . ( ) The same year , Razka Karn acquired a part of the forward sensory array of the Ravinok made of an uridium alloy . ( ) Jadzia Dax mentioned that the primary sensor array of the could not locate life sign s when the cloaking device was activated . ( ) In early 2373 , Chief Miles O ' Brien was able to reroute data from a Jem ' Hadar attack ship ' s sensor array to a tricorder . ( ) The Dominion constructed a massive sensor array in the Argolis Cluster in the early months of the Dominion War . It was powerful enough to detect starships at least five sector s away . In 2374 , Jadzia Dax commanded the " Defiant " in a successful mission to destroy it . ( ) In 2375 , Chakotay managed to find a way out of chaotic space by routing the ' s sensor array through the ship ' s deflector dish , which maximized the deflector ' s amplitude . ( ) In late 2375 , a Romulan colony in the Unroth system began repairs on their long - range sensor array . This weakness was discovered by Thot Gor , who planned an attack . ( )
