Modular sonar transducer assembly systems and methods

A method comprising:

• receiving a measured transducer orientation corresponding to at least one of a plurality of transducer modules disposed substantially within one or more sonar transducer assemblies;
• determining a transducer orientation adjustment based, at least in part, on a desired transducer orientation and the measured transducer orientation;
• and
• controlling an actuator to adjust a transducer orientation corresponding to the at least one transducer module substantially to the desired transducer orientation.

A method comprising:

• assembling at least two transducer modules, wherein each transducer module comprises:
• a transducer element comprising an emission surface;
• a conductive can disposed at least partially opposite the emission surface;
• an insulating cover disposed between the conductive can and the transducer element, and
• a module frame adapted to support the transducer element, the insulating cover, and the conductive can;
• and
• assembling one or more sonar transducer assemblies adapted to be mounted to a mobile structure, wherein the at least two transducer modules are disposed substantially within the one or more sonar transducer assemblies, and wherein each module frame is physically coupled to the one or more sonar transducer assemblies and/or to at least one other transducer module.
