Like radar radiation itself? Avoiding space obstacles is definitely a problem, but radar will spot a lot of stuff that can then be avoided. A strong artificial magnetic field around the ship will deflect charged particles, just as Earth's magnetic field deflects the solar wind and cosmic rays.

Radar travels at the speed of light so if your imaginary spaceship is going the speed of light then Houston there is a problem.
