LRS (Long range scanners) allow you to look at enemy ships just as you would one of your own ships (can peek at it's cargo, take a look at it's damaged components, etc.). It does nto need a special command you just need to click on an enemy vessel (or fighter, or planet) & take a look... though do make sure your in range first...

Strange, but in Tactical Combat mode, you can do that even without scanners.

Do you mean LRS allow you to do that on the System map?

Yep LRS work at a system level. In SE3 I would put them on cloaked ships and go around scanning ships and bases to keep an eye on what techs the enemy and my friends had.
