ABSTRACT:
The invention is a protective cover assembly having at least one part for a surface of a structure. In detail, the invention includes a first flexible layer of heat resistant material bonded to the structure having an outer surface with a radar cross-section reducing shape. A second layer of radar signature reducing material is bonded to outer surface of the first flexible layer and includes 1) a film of conductive material bonded to the first flexible layer; and 2) a film of radar absorbing material bonded to the film of conductive material. A third layer of heat resistant material is bonded to the second layer, the third layer made of a dielectric material having a thickness selected to provide a reduction in the radar cross-section of the cover when combined with the film of radar absorbing material.
