Might be useful for more than radar, like making MRI's much more sensitive.
Of course they have to get a working system up and running first.

So you can know where the target is or how fast it's going, but not at the same time?

I have always wanted to know whether Schrödinger's cat is dead or alive.
Can we scan this cat with this quantum radar to find out? Can it work as a catscan too?
