▲'''Rada''' ni mfumo unaotumia [[mawimbi]] ya [[redio]] kutambua vitu na vyombo mbalimbali kwa kuangalia mambo kama aina, mwelekeo, [[kasi]] n.k.
Rada hutumika kuchunguza [[Ndege (uanahewa)|ndege]], [[meli]], [[roketi]], [[Gari|magari]], mawingu katika utabiri wa [[hali ya hewa]], n.k.
Mfumo wa rada unatumia [[transimita]] kuzalisha mawimbi ya [[umeme]] na [[sumaku]] aina ya redio na [[antena]] ya kurusha na antena ya kupokea (mara nyingi antena hiyohiyo hutumika kwa kurusha na kupokea) na chombo cha kupokea na kutafsiri kitu kinachochunguzwa.
