Radomes

Design Develop Manufacture Test
Design

Design

Our radomes are designed to have minimal effect on antenna RF signals while maintaining structural integrity in different environments, such as subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic conditions

We work with the customer to design the radome and mount to ensure ease and quick installation

Develop

Develop

The overall performance of the radome (and antenna) assembly is optimized by determining the best materials and thickness of the radomes, as well as the location of the antenna within the radome

Our product development process ensures that customer requirements are carefully tracked throughout the design phase of a program

Manufacture

Manufacture

We use highly detailed lay-up and assembly procedures supported by manufacturing engineers to ensure conformance of our product. Engineers also work on process improvement initiatives to leverage new technologies for the benefit of our customers.

After parts are cured, we perform most post-processing work in house such as machining, assembly, painting, and other finishing applications

Test

Test

Electrical testing may be accomplished on the full size ground planes that simulate installation on the actual platform. If the radome reflections are strong or if multiple antennas are under the same radome, an absorber isolation system is used to tune the assembly

Our extensive antenna radiation pattern and gain test facilities operate from 200 MHz to 60 GHz and include outdoor, indoor far-field, and compact range measurement facilities
