Search radar will have a specific frequency range and pulse repetition interval (PRI). A target acquisition radar has different frequency and PRI. Target illumination radar has yet another. The aircraft radar warning receiver (RWR) is programmed with all these and will tell the pilot what’s happening if they’re being targeted.
