Mmm... I didn't thought about it (and didn't know it or read it before)
I'm not sure to have understand you well... Let's try with an example.
We are on course 000 and there is (Truth on) a single surface platform at general bearing 75... (Truth off now) and we pick it up on the towed array and also on the spherical array. Well, are you teling that we are picking it up in two sligthly different bearings (with respect to the two different sonar arrays)?

(Forgive me if the choosen 75° bearing is misleading because it doesn't fall inside the scanning range of one of the two sonsar array, I do not remeber the correct ranges ATM).
