A radar warning receiver (RWR) detects radar signals that might be targeting the platform carrying the receiver, but does not give enough detail to identify or counter the radar. When used for military purposes, it is a tool of electronic intelligence. In general, the presence of a radar signal can be detected well before the radar can get a significant lock on the target (i.e., carrying the radar warning receiver).

"Fuzz busters" and similar devices are intended to warn automobile drivers that they are approaching a police radar.
