Probably 15 years back, I read of a US artillery radar system which was designed
to detect an inbound artillery shell, plot its trajectory, calculate the source

Wanted to look up info on it , but a bit hazy on the system's name - IIRC it was
RED-something. I figured the assembled wisdom/experience here would include
someone who can join the dots for me.
Roke Research designed something similar a few years ago for the MoD
that computed a weapon's position from the sound emitted when it was
fired.

That was one of the earliest techniques applied in WWI. Maybe not counterbattery, but there is a shooter locator, using a microphone array as the primary sensor, deployed in Iraq- the Boomerang.
