How good was shipborne radar in the 60s against a 2003 airforce? For

example, could a 1964 ship detect an incoming modern strike
before the explosions began in the face of modern ACM.


1960s radar suffers from problems at low elevations(among other things)
which is where ASCM's hang out. This is a major shortcoming.

I ask both because I'm curious about the past and because there are navies

out
there using old-fashioned technology.
