Research abstract
The Department of Defense (DOD) has many requirements for support structures that possess sufficient strength and rigidity for radar applications. Steel support structures are generally used, but are subject to corrosion and require frequent maintenance. The goal of this topic is to design and develop a composite structure to functionally replace the current steel structures. The composite structure must meet the necessary strength and rigidity requirements while providing superior corrosion resistance. Ebert Composites Corporation (Ebert) has developed an all-composite high voltage transmission tower for the utility industry. This tower design can be readily adapted to fill the needs for the radar support structure
