IFR
Instrumental Flight Rules.
Just as you can turn a radio to tune a station in or out, a plane can detect a transponder set to a given frequency.
In fact, this same practice is used during clear weather to keep planes in their own traffic lanes.

We navigate using GPS, INS, and ground based navigational aids. The only thing radars are used for is controlling us in the enroute and terminal area, but you can fly somewhere where this is no radar and still land there, even in cloudy weather, if there is one or more instrument approaches there.

Pilots usually have sensors, guages and location indicators that work through wavelengths other than the visual spectrum. Their training forces them to have to practice flying and landing by using these instruments, rather than just relying on what they can see.
