Banks: "A structure this size would have lit up the scanners. It should be on the maps."

Syke: "Unless we're even more off course than we thought."

Ghost: "Or a jamming device is scrambling the scanners."

―Banks, Syke and Ghost

A sensor jammer was a type of device capable of blocking or fooling sensors. This could effectively cause a ship to go unnoticed by any possible observers, and also to prevent an attacker from gaining a weapons lock on the ship.
