Radomes

Meggitt Baltimore specializes in custom composite radomes for military operations. We have been designing and manufacturing radomes since 1965 and are highly familiar with the environmental requirements for multiple military platforms across sea, land, air, and space.

Meggitt Baltimore offers a wide variety of radome solutions:

​

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

​​

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

​

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

​

  • The radome construction is designed for specific frequency ranges and the power output of the antenna. This reduces the temperature of the radome by reducing the absorbed power.

​

  • 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.

​

  • Rain erosion coatings, boots, anti-static top coats, captive hardware and lightning diverters are available as well.
