The Echomax 305 was designed to give a more azimuthally symmetric RCS. Since the submarine has a large RCS at port and starboard already, a better design is possible. A flat plate placed against the side of the sail appears to have a much better chance of increasing the submarine RCS compared to the Echomax. This type of reflector would also be smaller and easier to store and handle.
