    摘要: A method for repair of a multifunctional wideband array includes processes and operations of assessing electrical and structural impairment to the multifunctional wideband array; cutting an opening in a superstrate of the multifunctional wideband array to expose an impaired backskin section of a lower electronics assembly of the multifunctional wideband array; replacing the impaired backskin section with a replacement backskin section; and repairing the opening in the superstrate. A system of multifunctional wideband array repair includes a core having longitudinal core strips and transverse core strips; a backskin having electronics connected to the core and providing electrical functionality enabling the core cells of the core to function as a phased array antenna aperture; a number of splice clips connecting longitudinal core strips to longitudinal repair core strips; and a section of the backskin electrically connected and structurally bonded to the repair core strips.

    摘要: A system comprising a core, backskin, longitudinal repair core strip, splice clip, and a section of the backskin. The core comprises a plurality of longitudinal core strips and transverse core strips forming a plurality of core cells and the backskin comprises electronics connected to the core and providing electrical functionality enabling the plurality of core cells of the core to function as a phased array antenna aperture. The splice clip connected one of the plurality of longitudinal core strips to the longitudinal repair core strip and the section of the backskin is electrically connected and structurally bonded to the longitudinal repair core strip.
