You don't need an explosion. Any broadband signal will work. You can make a sensor "blind" to you by keeping another ship along the same bearing as you. In broadband, you look like one signal. In narrowband, you get overlapping narrowband signatures, so you can't really pick the two apart. There's nothing new here. In the game we call these things "passive countermeasures."
