I guess its safe to say that the "defensive mechanism" involved automatically closing down all doors and bomb bays.
Curious, would it be possible to emit a radio signal that looks like its painting a target or locking up on a target and broadcast that signal over a wide area. That way, all stealth aircraft with similar defensive mechanisms will be forced to automatically close down all their doors and weapons bays.
And from that story, it looks like there is no override switch.
