It might not be unreasonable to set it up to require tracking it on the bow array at the time of the test. Of course, there is no doctrine language for "Detection Held Now" with a sensor-specific argument. But I can do some range testing and that might be good enough.

My search-fu wasn't good enough to find anything but the 688I thread...
