The AN/BQS-4 is an active/passive detection sonar. It consists of the AN/BQR-2 passive detection system with an added active detection capability.

The BQS-4 active component consists of seven vertically stacked cylindrical transducers located inside the BQR-2 chin bow dome, through which the BQS-4 transmits its active "pings."
