Broadband aerodynamic antennas for the Advanced Radar Missile Scorer (arms)

The authors´ company developed the Advanced Radar Missile Scorer to the terminal trajectory of anti-aircraft missiles from droned target aircraft. The original system utilised resistively loaded conical antennas which had adequate electrical performance but were unsuitable for a supersonic target. These antennas were developed into an aerodynamic double blade antenna for US Navy trials on the QF4. They are being miniaturised with modifications to the transmitter to maintain performance at lower production cost
