I guess, but a lot of awards rate higher. There is certainly precedent for awarding "big gongs" to folks who fought their part of the war via radar picture, NTDS consoles and radio headsets:
"OSCM Larry Nowell [known in Navy fighter and TOPGUN circles as "Ace" Nowell…back in the day…] ........Personally controlled over 100 live engagements for both Navy and Air Force fighter aircraft. Credited with assisting in 13 enemy MIG aircraft kills and with saving 4 friendly F-4 fighters, resulting in the first award of the Distinguished Service Medal in U.S. Navy history to an enlisted man for combat action........
He and his good work are specifically mentioned in the book Clashes though not by name (no one is in the book). One big difference though, he was a lot closer to the action.
