A PRA is conducted with precision approach radar, a separate radar with a scanning vertical and separate horizontal beam, it has a short range and is only used for precision approaches:



An SRA is conducted using Secondary Surveillance Radar (ie. your transponder return on ATC's standard traffic radar), it is a non-precision approach (so has a much higher minima).
