The Mission Darkness ATC Transponder Faraday Shield is a 38 x 24 inch three-layer TitanRF fabric cover with a 4-inch conductive tape border that sticks over an aircraft's transponder or antenna coupler. It prevents accidental transmissions to Air Traffic Control and nearby aircraft during maintenance or testing. It peels off without residue, suiting avionics shops and aircraft maintenance crews.
