Military Radar - better than Civilian
Military Primary Radar has the ability to measure altitude and also compute bearing and speed. They have to do this to vector interceptor aircraft or missiles.
This was shown in TWA 800 where radar returns after transponder failure were used to determine the trajectory and velocity of the major components. This was done by the NTSB using military system software.
