Every seen DS9 S4E7 "Starship Down?"

SISKO: Mister Worf?
WORF: Sir.
SISKO: What's the status of our weapons systems?
WORF: The cloak is not effective in this atmosphere, and the interference will jam our torpedo guidance systems.
SISKO: What about phasers?
WORF: We'll have to target them manually.
DAX: Benjamin, we have an idea.
KIRA: It's a little trick I learned during the occupation. Sometimes we'd evade the Cardassian ships by hiding in the Badlands. Sensor range was limited, so we learned to use an old active-scan system to navigate.
DAX: It works by echo-location. We send out a modulated tetryon pulse, and if it reflects off the hull of a ship we can approximate its location.
SISKO: But won't these pulses give away our position as well?
KIRA: We'd have to alter course and speed after every one.
(Sisko gives the nod.)
