If my recollection was correct, I believe that is was stated in the
opening "Captain's report" that the deflector screens were being used
to make the Enterprise "invisible" to the old-style Earth sensors.

By-the-way: for those in the D.C. area who were less than thrilled with
WTTV taking the 5:00 weekly time slot of ST and replacing it with a
single Saturday 10:00 AM showing, take heed.  Channel 45 plays ST at
6:00 on weekdays.  There really IS a God!
