Sensor and radar developments in 1945.

From “The Encyclopedia of U-Boats” by Moller & Brack there is some information.

It indicates that the demands for listening devices for the Type XXVI at maximum speed were ultimately so great that a “balcony” had to be devised, and an increase of the acquisition range had to be considered. None of these had been produced by the end of the war.

Also, two types of radar, “Berlin U11” (9cm) and “Lessing 11” (2.4m) were being tested at the end of the war. Both being specifically for XXI and XXVI, and supposed to be introduced in mid-1945.
