I've never built this unit at all; my games are usually over before I get to them.. However, I believe they're just like any other artillery unit - you should stack them with strong defensive units to prevent their capture or destruction.

Radar artillery, like any other artillery, is ineffective unless used in mass. The problem is, this mass of artillery makes an inviting target for an opposing player. As has been said, try to stack them with infantry or mechanized infantry. With enough defensive units protecting them, the stupid AI won't ever even try to attack your artillery stack (the AI always looks for the easy win) and you can blast them straight to hell.

The RA is also very effective when used in coastal defence against passing enemy ships.

you have to stack other defense units on them (mech infs or something), because they're capturable. the worst thing you can do in an attack is lose a swarm of artillery units.
