You can do something similar in 3D with Luneberg lenses, as used on the AN/SPG-59[1]. A truly wild piece of engineering, as is the following SCANFAR system if you're into that sort of thing. I can only assume someone in the top brass had a skim of Arthur C Clarke's Superiority and forwarded it straight on to engineering with a big green approved stamp.
