Radar is a technology which detects objects by bouncing radio waves off of them. It was brought into widespread use during the second world war as a way of discovering oncoming aircraft. However, low-flying aircraft could not be detected by radar, hence they flew "under the radar", that is, low enough not to be detected. Something which is "under the radar" is therefore something which cannot be detected. Often it is used for something which is too small or apparently insignificant to be detected by whatever means are being used to detect it.
