About Ceramic Radome technology:
- Ceramic Radome Technology is the state-of-the-art technology for Missiles across the world. ASTRA/ QRSAM, high Mach missiles experience high surface temperatures during their traverse due to atmospheric thermal heating.
- To mitigate the thermal heating, Ceramic is considered a radome material.
- Ceramic Radome fabrication is a two-stage process, gel-casting followed by sintering.
What is ceramic?
- Ceramics are classified as inorganic and nonmetallic materials that are essential to our daily lifestyle.
- Properties of ceramics: In general, ceramics are corrosion-resistant, hard, and brittle. The majority of ceramics are also excellent insulators and can withstand high temperatures.
What is Radome?
- Radomes are structures or enclosures designed to protect an antenna and associated electronics from the surrounding environment and elements such as rain, snow, UV light, and strong wind.
