Rock West Composites Builds Prototype Radome Using Lower-Cost, Low-Dielectric Epoxy Quartz Materials

Rock West Composites has developed a prototype radome for Georgian Aerospace using an NCAMP-certified low-dielectric epoxy prepreg on quartz fabric for aerospace platforms requiring broadband RF transparency. The radome passed RF testing with results comparable to higher-cost traditional low-dielectric resin matrix systems.

The radome uses Renegade Materials’ RM-2014-LDk-Tk 4581 8HS Quartz prepreg with a Rohacell foam core in a sandwich configuration. The design supports view angles as low as 25° and operates across 17.7–21.2 GHz and 27.5–31 GHz frequency bands.

Adam Saunders, Program Manager at Rock West Composites, said: “Usage of this material is exciting as it further enhances RWCs capability to quickly manufacture highly optimized radome panels at the best value proposition for our customers. The cost efficiency also expands the accessibility of an optimized radome to adjacent markets.”
