Airborne Applications
EC-130H Compass Call aircraft
ECCOSTOCK® SH-8, a low loss polyurethane foam with primarily function to serve as a dielectric spacer to support antenna elements.
JLENS
ECCOSTOCK® dielectric foams are used in the radiator for a stacked A patch antenna is a narrowband, wide-beam antenna fabricated by etching the antenna element pattern in metal trace bonded to an insulating substrate. Some patch antennas eschew a substrate and suspend a metal patch in air above a ground plane using dielectric spacers; the resulting structure is less robust but provides better bandwidth.
patch antenna.
Apache Longbow
ECCOSORB® MF-124 is used as part of a grounding pad in one of the RFIS hybrid assemblies.
E2C/E2D Hawkeye
Several of the forward, aft, port and starboard antennas are fitted with ECCOSORB® AN/CERSEAL and custom designed ECCOSORB® FLJ microwave absorber to reduce internal reflections from metal parts. Built for wet and/or high humidity environments, these products offer our best weatherproof coating technology. While highly complex and three-dimensional, these parts are manufactured and finished with state of the art, automated cutting technologies.
F-22 Raptor
ECCOSORB® GDS is used in several Electronic Warfare (EW) modules to suppress cavity resonances.
Patriot Missile
Special gimble assembly utilizes ECCOSORB® AN/CERSEAL to prevent backscattering within the missile.
MH-60R, MHP & CHP

Several of the antennas aboard this Multi Mission Seahawk Helicopter utilize both customized ECCOSORB® absorber and ECCOSTOCK® dielectric spacing materials.
Wild Weasel
Custom fabricated parts of ECCOSORB® ANW absorber were implemented to reduce antenna coupling. Manufactured by IBM Federal Systems, Lockheed Martin.
P-3 Orion
Custom configurations of both ECCOSORB® AN and CV are machined and then assembled for use around the wing antennas of the aircraft to prevent backscatter.
EA-6B Prowler and EA-18G Growler
Custom configurations of ECCOSORB® AN is used around specialized antennas in both of these platforms.
Ground Based RCS Testing
Several anechoic chambers have been designed, built and installed for Refers to the level of signal reflected from the radar target. The term RCS pattern refers to the manner in which a specific target at a specific frequency varies in reflective signal level as the target is rotated.RCS testing of aircraft across the globe. ECCOSORB® VHP along with other hybrid and high power absorbers can be used in conjunction with each other to optimize performance and manage cost.
