Message:
In performing the reliability prediction for a Navy SATCOM program the question of what opeating enviornment should be used for an antenna that is housed inside a radome is in question. The radome does not provide any protection for temperature, but does appear to provide some protection from solar radiation (less heat), rain, salt spray, etc. In the Reliability Toolkit, Table A11-2 GF can be converted to NU by multiplying the value by 0.3. Is there another factor that can be used for partial protection from the environment to cover this design application?
