Abstract
A compact, modular sonar assembly for use on the bow of a ship having separate transmitting and receive arrays confined within a single acoustic housing. The narrow and compact design fits much better into the hydrodynamically desirable bulbous bow deign than the typical bow dome sonar design and achieves good performance at a low cost with reduced size and weight.
