Tailorable to a range of different shapes, our new Ultra-Wideband Radome technology enables optimal performance of next-generation sensors and multifunction arrays (MFAs) for air dominance. We have successfully tested both structural and radio frequencies to include different polarizations and a broad range of frequencies and steer angles - and will continue increasing the test and manufacturing readiness levels to decrease risk for our customers. https://GDMissionSystems.com/Air | General Dynam

A "radome" is a weatherproof enclosure that protects a radar antenna. Radomes are built to be invisible to the radar and have a special coating to shed water so radar data is not affected. Periodically radomes are replaced as part of standard maintenance. Located at NSSL, the Advanced Technology Demonstrator (ATD) is the first full-scale, S-band, dual-polarization phased array radar (PAR) built from the ground up and designed specifically for use as a weather radar. NSSL continues to build on it
