You haven't read the "High Realism Tutorial" have you. This very problem is explained in the tutorial. You'll learn to plot a targets position on the Navigation Map to gain its course heading (which comes from its Angle on Bow), and estimate its speed by marking the targets position from the observations you take. The speed is learned when you know the distance between two marked points, and the time it took the target to travel between these two points. Nothing you can't learn if you read the tutorial.
