Hydrodynamic acquisition system for vessel-based underwater sensing

Disclosed herein is a vessel-mounted sensor acquisition apparatus including a coupler plate, an upper attachment portion, a sensor array portion, and a first winged pipe segment. The coupler plate includes a rotatable coupler and a rigid coupler. The upper attachment portion includes a first pipe attachment that is rotatably coupled to the rotatable coupler of the coupler plate and a second pipe attachment that is removably coupled to the rigid coupler of the coupler plate. The sensor array portion includes a plurality of remote sensing sensors. The first winged pipe segment, which includes a vibration-reducing wing, is coupled between the upper attachment portion and the sensor array portion.
