As aerospace and defense radar systems push into higher frequency bands with increasingly complex antenna arrays, radome material selection becomes a critical design variable. Composite architectures must simultaneously satisfy dielectric performance targets and structural, thermal, and environmental qualification requirements that vary across platform and mission profiles.
In this webinar, Tom Sutter of Renegade Materials examines the latest low-dielectric thermoset material systems developed for radome applications, with emphasis on how specific Renegade systems address design requirements across relevant frequency ranges. The session covers material qualification pathways, manufacturing challenges, and an NCAMP-published design allowables database — a publicly available resource for reducing qualification risk and supporting certification efforts.
Attendees will leave with a technical framework for evaluating and qualifying next-generation radome materials against electrical, structural, and regulatory design requirements.
