Any idea to what extent the problems can or can't be solved by money vs. a limit on maximum quality of radar before needing to break the laws of physics to improve further?
E.g. are the US military saying "yep those are the issues we face too" or "haha our tech has more than enough energy to get around all these problems"?
Most of what I know in these areas is either something I can't talk about, or is surmise based on conversations between others when I was around. There's a lot to do with the laws of physics, but equally, many times people have found clever things to do with the data they have.
I wouldn't care to speculate further, but you might want to read about phased array antennas, and FMCW radar. There are some very deep rabbit holes here, and I certainly would not be your best guide.
Thanks again :)
