Well, if the latter, I researched a bit and the navy has tested its own 100% homemade passive sonar making a big hidrophone and claims

CF Barreira, in charge of the Institute's Acoustic Systems Group and responsible for the project, pointed out that the test demonstrated IPqM's ability to master the entire technological cycle of a passive sonar system, "The tests performed used systems and algorithms developed by IPqM, from the analog signal of the hydrophones to the analysis screens by the sonar operators, with analysis, monitoring and classification tools, which comprise the domain of knowledge necessary for the design of modern sonar systems.
It is made by a company called Omnisys engenharia, they got 20 million reais to modernise their facilities to become capable of producing 100% brazilian made sonar. They are a subsidiary of the Thales Group.
