Ku-Band Belly Radome for P-3 Aircraft

Application

Military. Ku-Band Belly Radome for Naval Research Lab’s P-3 aircraft.

Challenge

Produce a Ku-Band Radome for the P-3 Aircraft. Qualify to Navy’s strict flight safety and damage tolerance requirements. The size requirement of the hardware was 6’ diameter x 3’ deep.

Solution

We executed a full-service structural analysis, material property testing and qualification determination and documentation, in addition to RF design and the related tooling. We fabricated the tooling and then produced the radome. We coordinated with our customer, the US Navy, and a 3rd contractor to ensure the qualification approach, structural analysis and aircraft interface met the needs of all parties.
