| Abstract: |
Omohundro will develop a low cost broadband radome design using a novel syntactic foam core material capable use temperatures to 900 deg F. The phase I effort will concentrate of a material vs performance matrix of various resins with its subcontractor Performance Polymers Solutions. A high temp syntactic foam will be developed from the candidate resins similar to Omohundro Cerez core material. Design will focus on A sandwich and C sandwich to optimize broadband performance, while minimizing weight and cost. A novel centrifugal casting process will optimize construction cost with high volume production. Flat panel designs will be built and tested during Phase I. |
| Benefits: |
The flat panel radome design will allow use for future complex radome manufacture. The high temperature resin and foam development will be useful for commercial aircraft, automotive and high temperature industrial component application. |
