ABSTRACT:
A radome probe apparatus for use with an electrostatic proximity sensor is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a radome nose cone probe connected to a projectile and having an inner surface. The nose cone is made of a dielectric material. Single or multiple electrically conducting areas are connected to the inner surface of the nose cone. The conducting areas are dielectrically isolated. Electronics are utilized to sense the time rate of change voltage or current between the areas due to the intrinsic electrostatic charge on a target aircraft.
