Locking on a target by rotation

Question

I'm having trouble thinking of how to make a radar (Basically a sphere) locks an enemy slowly.

Just like locking on a target in Flight Simulation games like Ace Combat?

Use quaternion.slerp

Slerp's motion is curvy. As in, it starts sort of slow, moves fast according to time, then slows again when reaching the target.

Is there a way to have a stable speed? Slow, but constant speed?

You can use Vector3.MoveTowards

Simple example:

transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target.position, followSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

I hope this helps.

This doesn't really help because this moves the transform, not rotates it
