Yep.
Ducimus, it's been a while since that thread. Do underwater sensors need to be underwater? Ie: if you put a sonar on a ship, and the node is above the water, does it work?
If underwater detectors must be under water, then make a new active sensor, and place the node for it 25m, or whatever the desired max altitude for the MAD equipped plane is. Then if the planes are flying above that alt, it won't work, and if they are low enough, the sonar is dipped. Assuming they need to be below water level.
If they work above, then you need to design the other aspects of the active sonar such that it works. Course if they only ping after they detect otherwise, that won't work.
The other issue with using a visual sensor is night time and weather.
Of course ww2 aircraft would not have operated in bad weather anyway, but MAD planes did work at night.
