A missile includes a radome-seeker airframe assembly that has a
single-piece composite material forebody. The forebody is made of a
high-temperature composite material that can withstand heat with little
or no ablation. The forebody has a front part with an ogive shape and an
aft part that has a cylindrical shape. The front part acts as a radome
for a seeker located within the forebody. Patch antennas are attached to
an inside surface of the cylindrical aft part. The aft part acts as a
radome for the patch antennas, allowing signals to be sent and received
by the patch antennas without a need for cutouts. A single seal may be
used to seal the guidance system and seeker within the forebody, allowing
the equipment to be hermetically sealed within the forebody.
