Kjöretöy med en keramisk radom

摘要

A missile (20) has a body (22) with a substantially circular nose opening (42) therein, and a ceramic radome (21) sized to cover the nose opening (42). A compliant metallic circular transition element (46) is disposed structurally between the radome (21) and the body (22). The transition element (46) includes an elongated compliant arm region (48) and a crossbar region (50) positioned adjacent to the radome (21) such that a lower margin surface (36) of the radome (21) rests against an upper side (56) of the crossbar region (50). A brazed butt joint (54) is formed between the lower margin surface (36) of the radome (21) and the upper side (56) of the crossbar region (50) of the transition element (46). A second brazed lap joint (58) is formed between the vehicle body (22) and the elongated compliant arm (48) of the transition element (46).
