If you draw solid line at bearing 180 there is no conflict.

But isn't the priviledged method of detection the towed array ?
In this case its the stern line that would be in the active area of the sonar, so you're better off with the solid line at OS course.
Frankly I find it more intuitive that the solid line be the OS course instead of the 180 line.
