A compact, unitary sensor array support structure for use in a water medium comprises a plurality of scissor arms mounted on a support. The scissor arms are extended from the support to expand the sensor array, and are retracted to the support when the array is to be recovered. The support with the scissor arms retracted thereto is slidably housed within a container. Together, the support and the container form a hydrodynamic body which can be transported by towing in the water or removed from the water for transport or storage. (Author)
