SBIR/STTR Award attributes
This research and development effort will develop two radomes for replacement of current radomes used for the TPS-75 and AN/FPS-117 radar systems. The new radomes will utilize 3D thermoplastic spherical sandwich panels with long life hydrophobic coatings and innovative, RF transparent panel joint connections. related components such as support walls and access systems compatible with the radome construction will also be developed. A system for temporally enclosing the radome for construction will also be developed. One radome each will be installed at Air force designated sites.
