MK48's (original and ADCAP both) MAY actually do this, but the circumstances are far from normal. There is at least one recorded instance of a 48 detecting on a helo about 50 ft above the surface and actually going near vertical to try to get to it. Have a picture of it on the wall at shop 67G at IMFPACNORWEST in Bangor.

Certainly not typical, but if it detected something it thought was a target, it COULD happen.
