An automatic sensor deployment system is provided for automatically deploying a sensor from a vessel to an underwater position. The automatic sensor deployment system comprises: a frame; a retractable arm supported by the frame, wherein a distal portion of the retractable arm is configured to be actuated from a retracted position to a deployed position in a direction away from the frame; a cable guide located at the distal portion of the retractable arm; a lifting cable supported by the cable guide; a sensor apparatus attached to the lifting cable, the sensor apparatus comprising a sensor for underwater sensing; a winch configured to retract and let out the lifting cable to raise and lower the sensor apparatus; and at least one actuator configured to actuate the retractable arm and the winch. Unlocking insights from Geo-Data, the present invention further relates to improvements in sustainability and environmental developments: together we create a safe and liveable world.
