Spooky radar

Not exactly radar. Not exactly implementable at present either, but might as well put your stake in the ground:

Defense giant Lockheed Martin is applying Einstein's "spooky action at a distance" to a far-out concept for a "quantum radar" that would be a (forgive the pun) quantum leap over current radar technology. The company filed a patent on the idea in Europe, according to this article in the U.K. Guardian.

If it does pan out, it promises a breathtakingly wide and detailed view of a given theater of operations.
