It seems to me that you're stuck in the 1970's and this at the same time seem to fit your narrative as a staunch almost fanatic follower of ED/DCS.


The theory behind TWS has been understood well since the 1960s (it was developed by NASA for the Apollo programme). There's really not that much that more processing power and memory can do for you on a mechanically actuated radar. The biggest progress has been made in the field of antenna design and power electronics, resulting in PESA and ultimately AESA antennae, which allows much faster beam steering and even splitting of the radar beam.
