General aviation radar at distance. You leave your run of the mill systems on where they expect them. As soon as they “see” something you turn on the systems.

Makes sense. Thanks for the input.
HAEK had two radar systems, a CW ranging radar that saw planes and a PAR radar that targeted them - it was only the targeting radar that we weren’t allowed to turn on.
So we could see activity.
Afraid mu comments above gave the wrong impression (memory).
Would that be like when the PRC's long range search radar paints a very fast mover approaching? Then they turn on targeting radars to attempt a shoot down.
Americans would never think of using that to gain elint on the now active systems, or to listen in on their comm's response to the intrusion.
Ya, duh, we'd never do that.
