Disclosed is a modular, palletized system for a deployable sensor that provides for easy deployment with minimal interconnection to the vehicle carrying such system, and with no requirement for modification to the vehicle carrying such system. A pallet having a standardized construction for fitment onto a pallet-carrying portion of a vehicle carries a moveable carriage. The carriage in turn carries an arm and sensor head which may be moved through an opening in the vehicle (such as through the door of an airborne aircraft) and pivoted to deploy the sensor when intended for use, and to retract the sensor when such use is completed. As the system is specifically sized for fitment on a standard pallet profile, it may be installed on the pallet-carrying portion of such vehicle without need for retrofitting of the vehicle's body.
