We can look at systems diagrams for stuff like the modular AN/SPY-6 the Navy uses, which is already a decade old design, and it's a racks and racks of power supplies, array control, and processing. What must be in there! What absurd interconnects must stitch it all together! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/SPY-6
I can only hope there's much more advanced equipment already deep into development, being readied for aircraft! (Then again, the crucial E7-A wedgetail aew&c basically gave up on trying to find a modern sensor solution for now, maybe might get an update later, if any get built at all).
This was a fun article to go through though.
