Abstract
A unitary radome layer assembly is provided and includes a first nanocomposite formulation and a second nanocomposite formulation. The first and second nanocomposite formulations are provided together in a unitary radome layer with respective distribution gradients.
Claims9
A unitary radome layer assembly, comprising:
- a first nanocomposite formulation;
- and
- a second nanocomposite formulation,
- the first and second nanocomposite formulations being provided together in a unitary radome layer with respective distribution gradients defined in terms of distance from an aft-to-forward axis and about a central longitudinal axis which is perpendicular to the aft-to-forward axis.

A radome assembly, comprising:
- a unitary radome layer having a nose cone shape with an aft portion, a tip and a curvature extending from the aft portion to the tip with an aft facing interior side and a forward facing exterior side,
- the unitary radome layer comprising:
- a first nanocomposite formulation with a first distribution gradient in the unitary radome layer which is characterized with an increased distribution of the first nanocomposite formulation toward the aft portion and the aft facing interior side of the curvature;
- and
- a second nanocomposite formulation with a second distribution gradient in the unitary radome layer which is characterized with an increased distribution of the second nanocomposite formulation toward the tip and the forward facing exterior side of the curvature.
