Aircraft-detection system (5)

I believe the answer is:

radar

(Other definitions for radar that I've seen before include "Technique using beam" , "M.A.S.H. character; electronic range detector" , "Remote sensing system" , "Pulse detection system" , "Locator of plane" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
