Facts
- Any form of technology used to detect some phenomenon from a distance
- Divided into active and passive
- Passive
- Detection of emissions without direct interaction
- Active
- Transmission of some means to detect through interaction with distant phenomena
- Often involved emission of unspecified signal at particular frequencies (TNG Novel: Available Light)
- Passive
Technological notes
- High-density minerals often serve to deflect active sensor efforts and prevent passive detection
- Natural crystalline structures, such as certain Oort cloud bodies, can serve as natural enhancers for active sensor efforts, expanding effective range immensely (DS9 Novel: Mission Gamma: Cathedral)
