Meggitt PLC has won a £ 402 million contract with BAE Systems to supply Radom technology to enable efficient operation of a multifunctional radar system in Typhoon fighter jets. The UK has committed to developing new technologies that will provide the RAF Typhoon with ‘electronic warfare capability’, world level. “
As part of this program, Meggitt says it used its advanced composite expertise to design a new, higher and wider Radom to protect devices from environmental influences, and prevent electromagnetic interference, while being dynamically stable and highly transmissible to AESA radar system operating modes.
