A search team launched from Whidbey Island to "locate the crew and examine the crash site," the Navy said. Identities of the crew members have not been released.
I feel like having a detectable signal that an enemy would be able to use to track an ejected pilot behind enemy lines isn’t something they would design into a warplane.
Even if the contents of the signal were encrypted, they could still track the unreadable signal to it’s source.
You could just make it passive by default. Only if it gets pinged with the right cryptographic signature does it send out a response. Im sure they have smart people that can figure out shit like this.
