10.2 Other Sensor arrays
The Camelot is equipped with the most extensive array of sensor equipment available, given space concerns. The starship exterior incorporates a number of large sensor arrays providing ample instrument positions and optimal three-axis coverage.
Each sensor array is composed of a continuous rack in which are mounted a series of individual sensor instrument pallets. These sensor pallets are modules designed for easy replacement and updating of instrumentation. Two-thirds of all pallet positions are occupied by the standard SF sensors, but the rest are set up for mission-specific instrumentation. Sensor array pallets provide microwave power feed, optical data net links, cryogenic coolant feeds, and mechanical mounting points. The science instrumentation is as follows-
Wide-angle EM radiation imaging scanner
Quark population analysis counter
Fixed Range Life Form Analysis Instrument Cluster
Fixed Range Neutrino Imaging Scanner
Fixed Range Thermal Imaging Array
Personnel Scanning Tracker Cluster
Short Range Tachyon EM Field Scanners
Hi Energy Charged Particle Detectors
Z-range particulate spectrometry sensor
High energy proton spectrometry cluster
Gravimetric distortion mapping scanner
Magnetic interferometry scanner
Localized subspace field stress sensor
Alpha X-ray multi-spectrum scanner
Variable band optical image cluster
High resolution graviton flux spectrometer
Low-resolution graviton spin polarimeter
Passive imaging high-energy photon sensor
Low-level thermal imaging sensor
Fixed angle gamma frequency counter
Virtual particle mapping camera
These sensors, located on 115 pallets distributed around the entire hull, comprise a network designed to ensure maximum sensor coverage. The upper and lower sensor platforms are equipped with electrofluidic motors designed to move the pallets 25-degrees in any direction. Well, except for in the direction of the ship.
