Dude you're out of your depth here. Just stop. We don't even know where it happened, in what airspace, etc. You clearly have no idea what the capabilities of A/A radar, datalink, JHMCS, etc even are. In the radar/approach pattern a lot of guys don't even have the radar pulled up. Limited digital real estate with lots of higher priority displays for a given situation.
OBTW the F-18 doesn't even have ILS, let alone TCAS/ADS-B.
