Research abstract
Mentis Sciences Inc. (Mentis) proposes to design, develop, and fabricate a high lift to drag ratio (L/D), Dual band Radio Frequency/Infrared (RF/IR), radome assembly suitable for use as a technology demonstrator for hypersonic missile defense applications. The final deliverable will be a full scale RF radome with integrated IR transparent windows in a high L/D form factor. Material models will be developed and validated through coupon-level testing for each of the radomes components to enable the design and analysis for the radome assembly. Test articles will be fabricated for tests at government facilities. Tests are intended to provide insight into the performance of the materials as part of the radome assembly and will use representative joining and integration methods and will be used to validate Finite Element Models and Analysis.
