How StanFlex modules use a ship's sensors

StanFlex separates the modular payload from the ship's standard sensor fit, with the module integrated into the host platform.

Question

Do StanFlex modules come with their own integrated sensors?

Short answer

Usually the ship carries the standard sensors, and the StanFlex module integrates with them.

Notes

The answer distinguishes a modular payload from the sensors already fitted to its host ship. StanFlex modules do not need to duplicate the platform's standard sensor suite. The module instead integrates with those shipboard sensors. The brief exchange identifies system integration as a central part of modular warship design without claiming that every StanFlex fit is identical.
