The system required the Nibelung to go active, however briefly, and while the few pulses would likely remain undetected it was not an entirely passive system. Also it is not clear whether the whole setup was actually fully operational at the war end. A number of planned "bells and whistles" for the XXI such as Ursel definitively were not.
