Abstract

A dual mode radar transparency allowing passage of both RF radiation and IR radiation comprises an aerogel base and ceramic skin overlaying the aerogel base. The aerogel base comprises a low density ceramic material. A method of fabricating a dual mode radar transparency allowing passage of both RF radiation and IR radiation comprises the steps of preparing a colloidal dispersion of a ceramic material in a medium, increasing a concentration of the colloidal dispersion by evaporation to create a suspension, and placing the suspension in a mold. The suspension is solidified to form an aerogel and the aerogel is joined to a ceramic skin.
