I think that the possible results are a bit extreme. A destroyer with
standard sensors might not get even bogey info until the enemy is quite
close. Likewise, adjusting an entire rangeband is potentially a bit
much.
There are, after all essentially only three bands to begin with. I think
that "half bands" might work better and allow for more varied results.

Hmmm, Starfire. I've also looked a mimicking this system. There needs to
be
a limitation on the distance between datalinked ships, otherwise the
system
becomes too powerful.

As a Traveller simulation, those sensor rules are fine, but I'd hesitate
to
adopt them as a general set for FT; a little too involved.
