<p>Apparatus for deploying at least one sensor, the apparatus including: a vertebrae chain including a plurality of interconnected vertebrae, the vertebrae defining a channel extending from a chain distal end to a chain proximal end, the chain distal end supporting at least one sensor in use; a cable coupled to the chain distal end and extending along the channel to the chain proximal end; and, a drive for deploying vertebrae by urging a driven vertebra towards the chain distal end, wherein the cable and the drive cooperate to place deployed vertebrae in the chain under compression thereby causing the deployed vertebrae in the vertebrae chain to rigidly interlock such that the vertebrae chain can be driven into a surface to thereby deploy the at least one sensor.</p> |
