| Abstract: |
In this Phase I Small Business Innovative Research Program we will develop and demonstrate novel materials and processes to provide improved Shipboard Radome performance for Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) systems and operational assessment technologies to mitigate risk and impact of Radome interactions with array Transmit/Receive modules. The materials shall be capable of surviving a typical Navy environment and shall be considered based on ease of design and manufacture, material availability and cost and ability to scale-up. |
| Benefits: |
Commercial aircraft, ground, and marine radome and antenna designs will benefit from the novel materials being developed under this SBIR project. This material system and processing technology will be of benefit in the fabrication of large composite structures for other markets as well including: ground and marine transportation; chemical processing; wind power generation; tanks and containers. |
