Composite missile nose cone

A missile nose section comprising:

• a single-piece monolithic composite material forebody;
• equipment at least partially within the forebody;
• and
• one or more antennas;
• wherein the forebody includes an ogive-shape forward part and a substantially cylindrical aft part;
• wherein the one or more antennas are positioned along an inner surface of the aft substantially cylindrical part of the forebody, substantially parallel to the inner surface of the substantially cylindrical aft part;
• wherein the forebody includes a forward mounting ring and an aft mounting ring as parts of the single-piece composite material forebody;
• and
• wherein both of the mounting rings protrude radially inward along the inner surface of the aft part.
