A radar system includes a plurality of radar devices each having a transmitting unit that transmits a high frequency signal to an object, a receiving unit that receives a signal reflected from the object, an individual control unit that controls transmission and reception timings, and a converting unit that converts an output of the receiving unit into digital data, and a central processing device having an integration process unit that processes information transmitted from the radar devices in association with positional information of the radar devices, a command control unit that controls operation timings of the individual control units, and a detection process unit that performs a process for detecting the object on the digital data before being processed by the integration process unit. Digital communication isolated from the transmission and reception timing controls at the individual control unit is performed between the radar devices and the central processing device.
