Radio...It's the r in RADAR

All of RADAR stands for RAdio Detection And Ranging

Most modern RADAR systems actually use Microwave for better resolution because of the shorter wavelength. There are also some LIDAR systems using either IR or visible light.

But it is named RADAR because the first systems used either HF or VHF radio bands.
