The closing question separates the Tracer's moving-target indicator from the aircraft and asks whether a heavier shipborne version could plausibly have appeared around 1943. Comparing earlier and current radar pulses could help operators distinguish moving aircraft from stationary clutter, including confusion near the radar horizon. The system would not extend the geometric horizon, but it could reduce its fuzzy edge and make approaching aircraft easier to identify. Allied research capacity, industrial resources, and access to materials made an Allied system more plausible than an Axis equivalent.

A 1943 moving-target radar could have sharpened the horizon
The final question isolates moving-target indication and asks how Allied shipborne radar might have used it during World War II.
