Advanced Gun System (AGS) Radome – The U.S. military has developed an advanced artillery system which utilizes Matrix’s high temperature composite radomes.  The Advanced Gun System (AGS) is an integral part of the Navy’s DD1000 Zumwalt Class Destroyer program. Matrix supported all aspects of the design, development, tooling, and verificataion of this assembly and is currently supporting the SDD phase.

The radome is processed via the RTM process which required tool design decisions ahead of final part design.  This allowed Matrix to submit and clear first article three months after contract award. Projected build quantities are expected to exceed 20,000 over a ten year period.
