This specification establishes the requirements for performance, design, production and acceptance of a state-of-the-art radome providing environmental protection for sophisticated L-band antenna systems. The radome shall be mounted on a fixed ground antenna tower. It shall provide an environmental enclosure for any of a variety of single or dual faced monopulse beacon phased array and en route surveillance radar installations. Installations will be comprised of an installation mix ranging from beacon-only-sites (BOS) to collocated beacon and search radar sites. Search radar antennas may be reflector type(s) or flat faced phased arrays. The radome shall be entirely nonmetallic (except for fasteners), oblate spheroid or spherically shaped and be attached at the base to the tower platform.
