ABSTRACT:
A fixed body wide field-of-view conformal antenna array suitable for broadband precision direction finding on missile platforms. The array is configured as multiple sub-arrays of spiral antennas that cover particular regions within the desired field-of-view of the entire array. A lower cost, more reliable and more accurate direction finding solution for missile needs is provided, primarily by the elimination of conventional radomes and antenna gimbal structures. The array can be configured to include multi-mode sensors.
