21. This antenna is not covered by a radome . 22. The aircraft employs a sophisticated and highly integrated AESA antenna array assemblies and 10 radomes . 23. One significant modification was the replacement of the composite nose radome by a metallic radome. 24. One significant modification was the replacement of the composite nose radome by a metallic radome . 25. In addition to protection, radomes also streamline the antenna system, thus reducing drag. 26. The same point was also made with respect to the radomes of the ECHELON facilities. 27. Some of these radomes were very large. 28. The ground structures include the receive array, cooling equipment, radomes and other buildings. 29. Two giant'radomes 'were constructed at Steamer Point to house satellite tracking equipment. 30. The antennas were housed in radomes the size of a 14-story office building.
