Abstract
The invention relates to low-frequency underwater detection systems comprising a towed linear antenna (12, 13).It consists in producing the transducers of the transmission antenna (12) in the form of flextensional arrays of cylindrical type (20) and in forming directional transmission channels covering all of space.It makes it possible to lighten the assembly and to facilitate implementation at sea, which becomes able to be automated.
