Terrain-following sensor

Legends Canon version → Linked from 7 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A terrain-following sensor was a component that worked in tandem with a ship's propulsion and flight-control systems, allowing it to fly at a fixed height parallel to the ground. It automatically adjusted a ship's course and altitude to avoid collisions with obstacles and changing terrain.
