I don't know of any Display plugins for RViz that visualise radar (or related) data. There was a Gazebo GSoC project (this one) that could have potentially resulted in a plugin for that, but OSRF wasn't selected for GSoC this year.

If you can't find anything online (github fi), then I'm afraid you'll have to write your own plugin. That can be slightly involved, but should be doable. See wiki/rviz/Tutorials for the introductory tutorials.

Edit: short-term custom visualisation using markers may be sufficient, but I would recommend you also try and see whether you can contribute to the ongoing discussion about radar and ROS on Discourse: Addition of Radar-Specific Message(s) to sensor_msgs.

After a standardised msg set, adding visualisation capabilities to tools like RViz would be a lot easier.
