You don't need 2010-era tech to do it. It's just the USN needs to think about these things now that they no longer have ASW frigates to put in the wake of a carrier if someone launches a torpedo at it.
And it's not like the ability to detonate a weapon on command is some fantasy invention. The old Mk45 ASTOR had this very functionality and I'd be surprised it it weren't retained for later weapons.
