Yes. The variable for this is stored in the sim.cfg file:

Code:
[AI detection]
Lost contact time=x
I'm quoting what Ducimus once wrote with regards to this parameter, and for a Lost contact time setting of 30:

Quote:
- how long the escort will look for you if alerted to your presence.

- how long you must remain undetected for him to give up and go away.

- How far away units will come to look for you if alerted by another AI unit. (example: if a AI unit detects you, it broadcasts your location. Any unit that is within 30 minutes traveling distance will be vectored into your location. Unless contact is made within those 30 mins, at 31 minutes the unit will turn around and go "home". This is why if you've ever attacked a fishing boat or what not, it felt like they had a radio when planes showed up a little bit later.
