A system for the automated deployment and retrieval of an oceanographic data collecting probe from a vessel in motion. The system involves ejecting the probe line rapidly from a drum such that substantially all of the line is deposited in proximity with the region of descent of the probe to reduce line drag for rapid probe descent. The system is designed for repeated deployment and retrieval of the line allowing unattended operation.

Cette invention concerne un système de mise à l'eau et de récupération automatisées d'une sonde océanographique à partir d'un navire en mouvement. Le système repose sur le déroulement rapide de la laisse enroulée sur un tambour de façon que sensiblement la totalité de la laisse se trouve dans le voisinage du point de plongée de la sonde pour réduire la traînée de ladite laisse et favoriser la plongée rapide de la sonde. Le système est conçu pour la mise à l'eau et la récupération répétées de la sonde sans intervention du personnel.
