Ceramic Radome' technology

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.
