ABSTRACT:
A sonar system includes at least one transmitter and one flexible antenna including a plurality of sections articulated one after the other, each section being provided with at least one acoustic receiver. The system is equipped with positioning elements making it possible to determine the instantaneous position of each of the receivers, and calculation elements making it possible to reconstruct an image of the seabed by taking account of the instantaneous micromovements of each of the receivers.
