Well... that's the catch... to track a contact with multiple sources of informations....great way for tracking surface contacts at very long range (not possible in DW because of aforementioned limitation of sensors), was merging of towed array LOB's and passive radar mast LOB's... of course you will have to bob the submarine up and down every two minutes between, let's say 40 meters, and radar mast depth... a bit cumbersome... but veeery efficient.

Also, don't trust your "one tool" (i.e. for example, only towed array) solutions... because you may get a nasty surprise when you add another LOB's source... he can be much much closer than you imagined... this usually leads to biting enemy torpedo...

One more thing... this whole thing doesn't work for Kilo class... they don't have towed array and their sensors are pretty weak... you'll have to use the "old fashion" way of periscope observing...
