Methods and apparatus for components according to various aspects of the
present invention operate in conjunction with reaction bonded silicon
nitride (RBSN). In one embodiment, a missile radome comprises a wall
defining the radome body, including a base and a tip. The wall may
comprise a core and one or more skins adjacent the core, such as in a
sandwich configuration. The core and the skins may have different
densities. The radome wall may be configured to transmit wideband RF
signals. The RBSN may be extruded to form the radome.
