An effective A-A RADAR needs doppler and pulse. If you want to lock a target going in the same direction at the same speed, it is in fact stationary relative to you. AWG-9 and AI24 achieves this with low and high PRF modes - more modern sets also have medium PRF that gives you a bit of both. Low PRF is good for measuring range and high PRF is needed to measure doppler.

As an EW man, I would reseanably confident that Hawk could be adapted for a ship shot - although I'm not 100%

All the best

Ps - sorry about spelling as I'm typing this on an iphone on the beach!
