A detection and tracking radar includes a hazardous zone set within a preset radius based on a main body having a radar, a plurality of detection and tracking sectors configured to detect a high speed mobile approaching the main body within detection areas, the detection areas being defined by diving the hazardous zone based on an azimuth angle, and a controller configured to recognize the high speed mobile as a target based upon signals received from the detection and tracking sectors and track the target. Accordingly, rapid detection and tracking of the high speed mobile can be allowed. Also, since the detection and tracking sectors can be independently run, expansion of a radar system can be free by virtue of addition of the detection and tracking sectors.
