The FuMO 29 Seetakt was a failed experiment, as well. What made it different is that the array was directly mounted to the conning tower. However, its range was only 7km (which is shorter than visual range in good to unlimited visibility areas) and had a fixed arc of 60 degrees. I would hardly call something with a 300-degree baffle useful. About the only thing this would be good for is detecting navigational hazards in foggy ports.
