So it has, assuming the DB values are in feet (I hate the way the DB switches between metric and nonmetric values randomly).
Here's also something that's interesting...

Meaning the direction of the detecting aircraft affects the accuracy of the MAD sensor... wonder how true this really is... if so it would be hard to model because making the sensor cognisant of its direction as well as making the AI respond appropriately would be a real pain. Perhaps making the sensor "target aspect" sensitive would be enough of a compromise.
... can you tell I hate ASW aircraft?
