A radome (which is a portmanteau of radar and dome). Radar dishes/rods and radio masts/aerials were once routinely exposed to the elements, but it was soon found out that both sabotage, war and nature quickly damages the sensitive parts and they needed to be covered up. It also keeps spies visual observations away and stops the revolving antenna/dish/rod hitting passing people.

- A radome (a portmanteau of radar and dome) is a structural, weather-proof enclosure that protects a microwave (e.g. radar) antenna. The covering minimally attenuates, or is made transparent to, radar or radio waves, and can also protect people from the spinning equipment. Radomes can be constructed in several shapes (spherical, geodesic, planar, etc.) depending upon the particular application.
