Echo-location (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

radar

sonar

(Other definitions for radar that I've seen before include "System for locating distant objects" , "Instrument to detect and locate distant objects" , "System for detecting things using radio waves" , "Aircraft detection system" , "Ranging system" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Guardian.
