SENSOR SYSTEMS

	The Galaxy Class Enterprise features one of the most sophisticated 
and flexible sensor packages ever developed for a Federation starship. 
These sensors make the Enterprise one of the most capable scientific 
research vessels ever built.
	There are three primary sensor systems aboard the Enterprise. The 
first is the long-range sensor array located at the front of the Engineering 
Hull. This package of high-power devices is designed to sweep far ahead of 
the shipÕs flight path to gather navigational and scientific information.
	The second major sensor group is the lateral arrays. These include 
the forward, port, and starboard arrays on the rim of the Primary Hull, as well 
as the port, starboard, and aft arrays on the Secondary Hull. Additionally, 
there are smaller upper and lower sensor arrays located near Decks 2 and 
16 on the Primary Hull, providing coverage in the lateral arraysÕ blind spots.
	The final major group is the navigational sensors. These dedicated 
sensors are tied directly into the shipÕs Flight Control systems and are used 
to determine the shipÕs location and velocity. They are located on the 
forward, upper port, upper starboard, aft, and upper and lower arrays.  Æ
