MFG Galileo Composites now has the funding for a second Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) assignment to advance technology for ground-based radomes. The “Research and Development for RF Performance of Ground-Based Radomes” proposal was submitted in response to the Elusive Surface Target Engagement Technology, DARPA/Federal Business Opportunities Broad Agency Announcement 07-15, and selected by DARPA on September 26, 2007. This latest project is a follow-on to the company’s earlier research and development work for DARPA that primarily addressed durability and maintainability aspects of radome performance. The objective of the follow-on project is to explore new methods that will increase radome RF performance characteristics while decreasing maintenance costs for end users in military, defense and commercial applications.
MFG Galileo Composites, formerly known as MFG Ratech, recently underwent a major reorganization. In addition to these changes, the company is also expanding their R&D programs in the area of investigating new materials, methods and design approaches. MFG Galileo Composites is a wholly owned entity of the Molded Fiber Glass Companies, a leading composites manufacturing specialist with operations in the US and Mexico. MFG has a long and rich heritage of pioneering the use of composites in many different industries including automobiles, trucks, wind energy, water treatment products, protective safety equipment, and construction—Sparks, Nevada
