how that yellow platform and the bend stiffener are deployed.

ADCP is like doppler radar, only for ocean currents.

Here is a diagram of how it is deployed:

In our case, the top portion will be hooked to the mudsled portion on the bottom. imo

"In order to obtain current profiles
throughout the water column in depths
greater than 1000m, Shell Global
Solutions (US), RD Instruments and
other manufacturers developed a realtime
system which includes a rigmounted
ADCP ‘looking’ down through
the water column, and a bottom-mounted
ADCP ‘looking’ up. The rig-mounted
ADCP feeds data directly to a computer
aboard the rig. The bottom-mounted
system collects ADCP data and transmits
it to the surface in real time via an
acoustic modem." end quote
