Basic RADAR is less complex than a $10 B&W TV set. You send a pulse.
You receive a pulse, which is 'detecting'. You measure the delay for
"ranging'. To get relative position data you use a steerable antenna or
array. Its all been done by multiple groups for over 60 years. Adding a
microprocessor is no big deal. That has been done to almost anything
with electrons for almost 35 years.
Can they compensate for doppler distortion of a LEO satellite, and
recover the data a full five minutes faster than the standard designs?
That is, while the bird is still over the horizon?

Radar is indeed entertaining.
It was, for a few weeks when I was in Jr. high school. I worked in a
building with a pair of 2 MW Westinghouse RADAR systems while in the US
Army. It was nothing but rack after rack of tubes and a half dozen techs
working around the clock to keep both systems working. It was hot,
noisy, and boring.
This wasn't. It was microprocessor controlled and low power by your
standards. It was popularly know as 'the Rine River Radar' It has 50%
'look-ahead' too btw.

The job was for Kelvin Hughes.
Their then Managing Director is one of my referees. He's moved on a bit
since !
