Taking the Subjectivity Out of Radome Testing
We are the microwave materials and RF materials measurement system solution. Compass Technology Group has been working with the aerospace industry since our inception in 2011. We work with Department of Defense contractors and aerospace manufacturers on radome testing and in improving material and component testing for better efficiency and accuracy. This involves replacing manual and subjective methods with systematic approaches.
Solutions for the Aerospace Industry
Radome Performance Testing
Radome testing to evaluate performance is typically done with a large expensive test range. Our equipment provides a cheaper and faster alternative and can be easily transported around the manufacturing plant floor. Our technology uses a virtual twin made from microwave map data. This helps us evaluate the performance of the radome. We can determine its transmission efficiency and boresight error.
Radome and Composite Defect Detection
Defects from manufacturing or damage such as delamination or water ingress can reduce a radome or composite structure’s strength. Our microwave NDT equipment and algorithms are sensitive to many defects and can map their location for directing repairs.
Absorbers
Manufacturing Quality Assurance
At Compass Technology Group, our equipment is utilized for real-time, in-line testing in the manufacturing process, including for closed loop control. This means that a manufacturer can collect real-time data from our sensors and verify that the properties are within certain specifications or can adjust their manufacturing process as needed using this information.
