A major military airport in  France had experienced considerable problems with radar reflections from a large 
industrial chemical tower in close proximity to the airport runway. The government had directed that the tower be
 removed, unless a method was  devised  to reduce the radar reflections from the tower. MWT engineers were
 called in to  recommend a solution to the problem.  Engineers recommended that our  standard  Microwave
 Absorber Blankets, MAC-6200, be redesigned to increase the  size of the  blankets and attach them to a
backboard which could be installed onto  the side  of the tower facing  the GCA  radar. This installation solved
the  reflection  interference problem and allowed the chemical plant to continue  operation.
