The physics of underwater sound would imply that acoustic homers would have an asymetrical "cookie cutter" sensor, both vertically and in all likelyhood horizontally. Their sensors are just like any other sonar except higher frequency due to the size of the array you can fit in a torpedo's nose.

Do some torpedoes have bottom sounding ?
