SENSOR ARRAYS

BETHEL possesses several sensor arrays containing all kinds of instruments which constantly deliver and update scientific, navigational and tactical long-range and short-range sensor information to a variety of workstations inside the ship, in particular to the bridge, engineering and the astrometrics lab. These sensor arrays are also known as "sensor strips" or "sensor platforms" or "sensor pallets".

The main sensor package for the ship is located immediately behind the main deflector.

There are engineering sensor arrays on the ventral section, one on the starboard side and one on the port side. These form a secondary instrument cluster which provides scientific, navigational and tactical data.
