Abstract
A recessed conductive grid formed in the exterior surface of an infra-red transmitting window provides shielding against electromagnetic interference and/or low observability. The recessed conductive grid, with its top surface flush with the exterior surface of the IR-transmitting window, is more resistant to erosion by rain and sand than prior art structures, in which the grid is formed on top of the exterior surface.
