RADOMES, ANTENNAS & GROUND SYSTEMS

Reliable protection in complex operational environments

In defence systems, success depends on protection, signal integrity and environmental resilience. Diab provides lightweight foam core solutions that enhance structural efficiency while meeting the strict requirements of radomes, antenna systems and ground-based platforms.

Stable dielectric properties and low signal loss are essential in radome and antenna structures. Diab develops foam core solutions engineered for reliable RF transparency across challenging operational and environmental conditions, while enabling lightweight and structurally efficient designs.

Rapid prototyping and close collaboration during RF testing support optimisation of both mechanical and electromagnetic characteristics. Diab also enables efficient deployment through advanced kitting capabilities, including complex multi-part kits with labelling, traceability and installation support for field-ready systems.

Integrated insulation properties help manage thermal and acoustic conditions across varying environments. In ground and amphibious structures, buoyancy characteristics can support flotation requirements, while crash energy management and ballistic structural performance contribute to improved protection and durability in high-risk operational scenarios.

Platform applications

Our materials are used across a wide range of defence systems, including ground vehicles such as amphibious and floating platforms, as well as radomes, antenna structures, and sensor and communication systems. Ground-based storage systems, including containers, are another common application area. For ground shelters, lightweight yet robust structures with integrated electromagnetic shielding and the capability to withstand airdrop deployment are key features.
