Abstract

A dome mounted composite structure Radome was design and substantiated for an early warning surveillance system. This Radome is the biggest composite part that has been manufactured at IAI. Appropriate facilities were built including a new clean room, autoclave, assembly hangar and a dedicated NDT system. The substantiation process includes development of material design allowables, coupons and elements testing and a full scale static test to the maximum ultimate design loads.
