Linking OTH radar picture to Air Warfare Destroyer



I've read somewhere that Australia's DSTO is studying a
network-centric warfare concept which connects Jindalee OTH radar with
planned Air Warfare Destroyer. This is to counter anti-ship missile
carriers that come in below the AWD's radar horizon, being cued by
offboard sensors. Certainly the AWD can shoot down inbound arrows, but
the archers can get away unharmed. The bombers will come back
reloaded, and the AWD will have to run away after emptying its
magazine.

The traditional solution to this is to operate only under the air
defence umbrella provided by AEW and CAP. An alternative, hopefully
cheaper, solution is to upgrade the Jindalee OTH radar to get
fire-control quality data, link the Jindalee radar picture to the AWD
in real-time, and arm the AWD with an active-homing missile (ERAM?)
that can engage targets over the horizon.

Here's the question --- is there any OTH HF skywave radar that has
achieved fire-control quality data?
