We're at the forefront of technology when it comes to noses. The Nose Cone or Radome, apart from being vital to the basic aerodynamic shape of aircraft and missiles, must also be able to withstand physical and mechanical stress, such as temperature and bird strikes whilst at the same time being transparent to the various sensors such as radar and infra red, looking forward from within, without degrading their performance. The range of materials and solutions are as comprehensive as the extensive range of aircraft and missiles we've successfully dealt with. Take Concorde for instance 12 million miles on one nose is not something to be sniffed at.
