The present invention relates to an underwater vehicle provided with a sonar for detecting underwater objects, the sonar being a sonar with an elevation angular coverage of between 45 and 240 degrees, which sonar is oriented towards the surface when the underwater vehicle is in the phase of detecting an underwater object, and a bearing angular coverage of less than 10 degrees to obtain measurements in a plane, wherein all of the measurements in a plane are obtained in one transmitting/receiving cycle, the sonar enabling submerged objects located at a depth less than that of the underwater vehicle to be detected.
