Maybe I'm confused but that's never stopped me from talking before

Yeah, counter-battery radar has been around for a while, but I thought this radar was some sort of early-warning device... is it? If so, how much warining time would you have. Hence my question about artillery shell hang time since I know that tank projectiles fly at about a mile per second. At that rate you would have between 1/2 second and 15 seconds of time between the shell being fired and hitting the target. But artillery fires in an angle instead of a relatively straight line so I cannot deduce what kind of warning time you have. There I've laid my thought process out so I can get a clear answer on just how much early-warning time you get with the radar.
