Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed is a sonar system comprising a towfish (2) comprising a first body (5) connected to a second body (6), the first body (5) extending along a longitudinal axis (l) and comprising a plurality of acoustic transmitters distributed along the longitudinal axis (l), the sonar system comprising a cable (4) connected to the second body (6) and via which a surface carrier ship is intended to tow the towfish (2), the first body (5) being mounted so as to be able to pivot, relative to the second body (6), about an axis of rotation (x), such that the first body (5) is capable of switching, by pivoting relative to the second body (6) about the axis of rotation (x), from an operational position to a capture position; the axis of rotation (x) being substantially an axis of movement of the towfish (2), the longitudinal axis being substantially vertical in the operational position of the first body (5) and being substantially horizontal in the capture position of the first body (5), when the towfish (2) is totally submerged and towed by the carrier ship.
