Abstract

A connecting assembly serves for connecting a dome covering a seeker head with the structure of a missile. A holding ring extends over the rim of said dome, positively holding this dome and connected with the structure of the missile. An annular recess is provided underneath the holding ring along the rim of the dome. This recess contains a flexible sealing substance for establishing a seal between the holding ring and the dome. It is important, that no additional material bonding such as cementing or soldering is provided between the dome and the holding ring.
