Prototype Sensor Array
The Prototype Sensor Array would take up several of the lateral sensor pallets reserved for mission-specific sensor packages. These are normally left empty unless needed for a specific mission, and thus their addition will not hinder ship performance by taking up a normal sensor pallet. It is an active quadronic sensor cluster. It uses a pulse neutrino emitter, a subspace field analyzer, an electromagnetic flux sensor, and a gamma gravimetric scanner in concert to more accurately and in a timely manner give a definitive reading of stellar bodies, extra-vessel compounds and alloys.
In 2414, such a sensor array was developed by the Daystrom Institute and placed aboard the USS Rosenante at the request of Doctor Bruce Maddox, who required a ship capable of field testing the new design specifications.
The Prototype Sensor Array was first seen in the USS Rosenante and USS Boudicca joint mission, Personal Logs
