Default Detection by Sonobuoy Trigger?

I was messing around in the mission editor with a P-3 and was trying to fire a trigger once a target sub was acoustically detected using deployed buoys. When debugging the mission I noticed that my other triggers/scripts/etc fire as expected, but that I never got a trigger for detection. I had the sensor for the detect rule set to "Any" but upon closer inspection it looks like there aren't any options related to an acoustic receiver/processor or sonobuoys. Is there a way to detect if a platform has detected another platform via sonobuoy?

Trigger with doctrine "detect" is possible only for objects on map in editor.

Attached TEST mission (just change extension .txt -> .mu)

Hmm, interesting. I was hoping that there'd be a way either with an entry for maybe some AQS-xx other than the dipper or just an entry for Passive Sonobuoy. Interestingly, if I put an S-3 in and add a detect rule and a trigger for it, "Passive Sonobuoy" does show up as an option.

Just for curiosity's sake, I was also trying to figure out how you can measure how long contact was held with the dipper and it didn't seem like it met the duration criteria for triggers. Maybe that's just because it doesn't have trackers though?

Yeap its only for contacts with tracker.

Btw why you need this? I mean both questions. Because im sure its possible to find different solution if you tell exactly what you mean.

Haha, well, I was trying to create an air platform equivalent to a "maintain acoustic contact to gain info on the acoustics of a target" type of goal. Probably a little more appropriate for the P-3 than the MH-60R. The dipper question only came up because I was trying to figure out how to do "collect X minutes of acoustic recordings" of a target and realize I couldn't use buoys, so I thought I'd investigate the dipper since it at least allowed me to detect contact.
