A proximity sensor can refer to one of two types of sensors, designed to detect:

1. high-gravity fields. Such sensors were in starships around 27 BBY to inform pilots of the location of any such fields in their area that might prevent the use of their hyperdrive.^[1]
2. physical objects. Such a sensor could be used to open a door automatically when someone approached.^[2]
