Abstract
The sonar array system includes a receive array of hydrophones and a transmit array of acoustic projectors disposed on a common axis. The sonar array system can be coupled to a ship and deployed and recovered from a single winch and through a single ship hull penetrator. When towed through water by the ship, the sonar array system provides a substantially horizontal transmit/receive array.
