MG-361 sonar station

MG-361 Kentavr sonar is a Ukrainian digital sonar station cataloged by SE SFTF Progress as a towed hydroacoustic system for surface vessels. It uses a flexible extended antenna to detect and classify underwater and surface objects, track submarine coordinates, and feed targeting data into a ship's weapons-control system.
