The tachyon detection was first seen in practical use during the Starfleet blockade of the Klingon-Romulan border during the Klingon Civil War. Twenty-three starships successfully prevented a convoy of Romulan supply ships from sending further aid to the forces loyal to the House of Duras, tilting the balance in favor of Gowron, the legally-appointed leader of the Klingon High Council. During this operation, Sub-Commander Sela attempted to disrupt the grid by bombarding the USS Sutherland with tachyons, creating a blind spot. Temporarily in command of the Sutherland, Lieutenant Commander Data recognized her tactic and used the residual tachyons to detect the ships trying to pass through. (TNG: "Redemption II" )

- A tachyon detection grid is a method of detecting cloaked starships. Originally developed by Starfleet it involves various starships or sentry posts transmitting tachyon beams between them to create a tachyon field. Any cloaked vessel attempting to navigate through the field would be exposed. The first practical application was by a Starfleet task force led by the USS Enterprise-D in 2368. The grid successfully managed to detect a Romulan convoy as it attempted to penetrate Klingon space to assist the House of Duras during the Klingon Civil War. (TNG: "Redemption II")

Temporarily in command of the Sutherland, Lieutenant Commander Data recognized her tactic and used the residual tachyons to detect the ships trying to pass through. (TNG: "Redemption II" ) Following this success, the Romulans suspected that the Federation had a tachyon detection grid to supplement its gravitic sensor net along the border of the Romulan Neutral Zone. (TNG: "Face of the Enemy" ) By 2373, the Klingons had deployed a tachyon detection grid around the perimeter of their military command base on Ty'Gokor. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising") In the Delta Quadrant, the Swarm used a similar technique to monitor the borders of their own territory, consisting of a series of interlaced tachyon beams. The USS Voyager crew devised a way to elude this grid by modifying their shields to refract the beams around the ship uninterrupted. (VOY: "The Swarm")

(TNG: "Redemption II") After this successful test Starfleet upgraded its sensor posts along the Romulan Neutral Zone. (TNG: "Face of the Enemy") The Klingons also made use of this technology using it to help protect their military installations, such as Ty'Gokor. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising")
