Evaluation of reinforced plastic radome materials
Abstract
A program was conducted to measure mechanical, physical, and thermophysical properties of fiber reinforced composite radome materials in support of the Joint Army, Navy, Air Force (JANNAF) laser study. Over half of the materials were found to contain voids distributed through their interiors. One was found to contain numerous microcracks. No conclusions are drawn since the objective of the effort was simply to obtain and report the data.
