A reel-based curved boom that follows a predetermined arch or trajectory is disclosed. Such a disappearing controllable-arch sensor boom or crane can enable a sensor on the end of the boom to be extended from a vehicle over obstacles such as walls or low buildings. It can also be extended to view the underside of bridges, or of the vehicle itself. It can be used to view targets of interest that are not within the direct field of view of the vehicle or from directly above said vehicle.
