For those suggesting we use fighter-class radars on ships.

"What stands out is the question of what this device was based on. Considering the rapid pace at which it was deployed on carriers, it seems more likely to be a system developed swiftly and reliably using an existing platform rather than one built entirely from scratch. Given that the manufacturer is RTX, a logical candidate for its foundation would be the APG-79 AESA radar. The size of the device, along with its configuration—apparently divided into two major components: the front antenna section and the processing unit behind it—further suggests that it may have been developed based on a fighter aircraft radar system. If this is the case, the radar is expected to have a detection range of approximately 150 km or more, and it is likely capable of detecting small, low-RCS (Radar Cross Section) missiles thanks to the use of X-band."
Note, this is just speculation.
