Enterprise‑D Navigational Sensor Array
A ship‑integrated navigational sensor array mounted as part of the Enterprise‑D's bridge sensor suite. It supplies real‑time target acquisition and course data to the bridge, its readouts and alerts flooding tactical stations. During the Klingon assault the array registers incoming K'vort battlecruisers, then shows signs of progressive damage and eventual disablement, leaving officers scrambling for situational awareness.
