Inspection Services

Inspection

Maximize your radome system lifespan and reliability with expert inspection services from Saint-Gobain Composite Solutions.

SHEERGARD^® radomes are built to last. But periodic system inspections (combined with recommendations for any necessary maintenance work) provide ongoing assurance that your radome system provides optimal protection and RF performance for your antenna system. Get the confidence you need throughout your system’s entire lifecycle.

Expert radome inspection services provide you with perpetual peace of mind. During the inspection, Saint-Gobain engineers check for damage to the interior and evaluate the proper operation of accessories and pressurization systems (for air-supported radomes). And when your radome is nearing the end of its design life, our engineers evaluate its condition and recommend future action to ensure its lifespan is maximized (including sampling panels or materials and testing to ensure the system is still performing to design specifications). When you want to fully unlock ROI from your radome system, inspection services are the key.

Saint-Gobain Composite Solutions is a long-trusted partner for creating highly specialized, technology-driven material solutions that deliver extraordinary performance across a spectrum of demanding settings. Through collaboration with our customers, we co-develop versatile materials and real application tests to ensure that you have the best possible solution for your application. We help create innovative materials that provide protection, easy release, insulation, and friction control. And we seek to collaborate in making it even more possible.

Saint-Gobain Composite Solutions rigorously tests all SHEERGARD^{^{^{^®}}} radome products via software-modeled analytics, lab-scale material characterization, and most importantly, directly relevant application testing. Every SHEERGARD^{^{^{^®}}} radome complies with strict MIL.STD.810 testing – the military-leading standard for all environmental conditions including temperature, humidity, salt, fungus, and many more. Software modeling such as Finite Element Analysis and Thermal Analysis can yield information on deflections, factors of safety, and thermal management requirements. Application tests such as physical hail storm testing, destructive fabric testing, and real-life application exposure reveal key learnings in creating a truly optimized product. Our testing begins during the co-development process to develop relevant tests and gather data that allows us to create market-ready solutions quickly.
