Application of conformal surface wave antennas for RF homing systems on endo-atmospheric interceptors is considered. Conformal apertures near the base of the interceptor are employed to generate orthogonal, steerable fan beams for target aquisition and tracking with minimal incursion of the internal interceptor volume. Measured patterns demonstrate the viability of the antenna concept.
