ASTRA\/ QRSAM, <strong>high Mach missiles experience high surface temperatures<\/strong> during their traverse due to atmospheric thermal heating.<\/li>\n<li>To mitigate the thermal heating, Ceramic is considered a radome material.<\/li>\n<li>Ceramic Radome fabrication is a two-stage process, gel-casting followed by sintering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What is ceramic?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Ceramics are classified as <strong>inorganic and nonmetallic materials<\/strong> that are essential to our daily lifestyle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Properties of ceramics:<\/strong> In general, ceramics are corrosion-resistant, hard, and brittle. The majority of ceramics is also <strong>excellent insulators<\/strong> and can withstand high temperatures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What is Radome?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Radomes are structures or enclosures designed to protect an antenna and associated electronics from the surrounding environment and elements such as rain, snow, UV light, and strong wind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Q1) What is QRSAM?<\/h3>\n<p>QRSAM is a Short Range Surface to Air Missile system designed to protect moving armoured columns from aerial attacks.
